What Is May Thurner Syndrome?
3. Symptoms
As mentioned, the majority of people with May Thurner syndrome will not experience any symptoms. Some patients with the condition will experience some symptoms, however, due to the flow of blood being limited. When conditions do arise, they will typically include swelling and pain in the patient’s left leg.
The patient will also often find that walking can be painful, and their left leg is likely to feel warm to the touch. Skin can also become discolored, and the veins can become visibly larger. Ulcers are also more likely to develop for some patients. There is also a chance that the patient will develop deep vein thrombosis, which is can be somewhat more serious.
