Medical signs and symptoms of phlebitis Health Consultation Description: My Mom has a red blotchy rash on her left leg from the foot to her hip. She has a fever, is pale, weak, and has no appetite. She's been sleeping almost the entire day which is very unlike her, even at 85. She adamantly refused to go to the emergency room to have this checked out. If not phlebitis, what could this be? Yes, I now see that is probably cellulitis. My brother met me over at my mother's house just now, and she screamed at us to leave her alone. I tried for 20 minutes to persuade her, but my brother was being very passive and told her that we would check on her tomorrow (he's a liberal, what can I say). So to avoid causing her to have a heart attack from getting so angry at me, I decided to leave and pray that she will be willing to go in the morning. Thank you for your answers.

Questions and answers about phlebitis treatment Health Consultation Description: I have some bulging veins under left knee and left inner thigh. They havn't really bothered me until recently when I decided to try and tan my white legs before summer vacation. They became red(just around the veins) and became so tender to the touch. I have had heat in my lower knee veins for at least a couple of years know but never in my thigh. It's been about 3 days now and the redness has faded but the tenderness remains. What causes phlebitis and can the sun cause it? I don't have to go to by Gp to see a specialist but I don't know if maybe my GP can treat this.

Also my insurance considers veins to be cosmetic, speaking on your own experience,did your insurance company pay for phlebitis treatment? Sorry this is long, thanks in advance for your answers !
