Calling GetBig BroDoctors - why have Walkers veins done this..?

[Taffin]

I dropped the first pic in a thread I can't find now, but the second one shows it better - what's the broscience behind the seemingly complete collapse of that venous situation he had going on previously?  If it's meds related, surely he's stumbled on some sort of therapy for varicosity...?

Or what..?

Filled with fluid maybe and lost the "shredz"??  The gainz brah ??

Almost threw up !

Since he's injured he probably had is varicose veins treated since he has down time. In time that disgusting look  will go away. Women have their varicose veins treated  and first it looks bad but it fades. That's my guess.

Almost threw up my protein-packed pancakes of peace

My bro-guess is that the tear-related subcutaneous fluid build up temporarily "drowned them away" ( cant see the other leg )

there is a member on here with the handle "vascsurgeon" who briefly shared some info on varicose veins with Mister Arvilla

Once veins are removed surgically, they do not come back. Other veins can emerge due to the underlying issue not being treated.

not true (unfortunately) wish  I had know this before I went thru the very painful and costly surgery!  They are actually programmed to grow back after trauma! “Many patients experience excellent results from surgical procedures to get rid of many varicose veins, but sometimes varicose veins do reoccur. Up to 60 percent of patients may have their varicose veins return after treatment (ii) and this can be frustrating.”

Let me give you another example, if you have a tooth extracted does it return?
I'm just trying to help, you are misinformed.

The underlying condition needs to be addressed and when it's not, then you have a poor result, similar to yours.

  ok fair enough! (I’m just telling my own real life experience) I had really bad varicose veins mostly on my Lower legs (shins and calves) I didn’t mind them too much , but people would always say something to me / make comments about them …. Had a girlfriend who talked me into going to a vein specialist (vascular surgeon ) who removed them thru vein stripping surgery and laser ablation … it wasn’t a one time deal ….it fucking hurt like hell! … all the varicose veins were gone …. Now they are back (not as bad as before but still they were completely gone! … I just snapped this pic now….. I’m no expert in veins I just know what I went thru …

Understood and that's a good picture. The vein that was ablated likely was your Greater Saphenous vein, maybe mid calf to groin through the medial/inside of your leg. That picture almost certainly is your Lesser or sometimes called Small Saphenous vein. It communicates with your deep venous system differently than your treated vein. Basically what I'm saying is its a totally different vein.
There is a good chance that you have valvular insufficiency behind your knee at the Sapheno - Popliteal Junction along with deep venous insufficiency.
Stay hydrated during the hot summer months to help avoid phlebitis which is very painful.
Again, I'm just trying to help, sorry you had a less than pleasurable surgical experience.

What underlying condition?

Venous Insufficiency

This one I actually “ nicked “ with a razor and it was spurting blood 🩸….spraying might be a better term …. Not sure what’s going on there

That looks like an untreated segment of the previously treated vein, but I'm guessing from a single picture. The procedures you had should have been pain free, next time, if there is one, get a script for Valium or similar to help you relax and maybe sleep if no anesthesia is used.
Also, consider an electric razor for those problem areas.

Maybe he is taking hypotension meds to prevent further hemorrhage.
I have veins in my arms that sometimes are tucked inside wich i suppose could be some hypotension event.

It is a striking difference in the legs. If it is the same leg some of the differences in how they look could be partly due to lighting, angles, and how hydrated he is at the time the picture was taken. Maybe they had him in compression bandages around his legs and the better-looking picture is right after the bandage was removed. But even accounting for that it is a big difference.

Seemingly spontaneous yet curiously timed, Derek Lunsford presented Walker with a snorkeling trip to the waters of Palau, renowned for its infestation of jellyfish, just one week before his 'injury'.

fucks sake "maybe" there is no maybe about it, I just posted the photo evidence of what it is

But that pic is of a hamstring, right?  And those are compressions strip removal marks. So why would Walker have those marks on the front of his legs - and especially the uninjured leg..🤔

And they don't really look that similar to me...

[bhank]

Same reason your calf vascularity goes away when holding fluid and he is also taking pressure off the leg (not standing on it) every time you see the varicose veins he is standing or squatting putting pressure on the leg. In the injury pics there is fluid but also no pressure on the leg.

[Van_Bilderass]

It's just the swelling. I saw one particularl bad pic, like a little penis growing outward at one point.

Perhaps the photo was his penis and he got it mixed up in the leg photos.

Look, believe what you want I dont give a fuck

I have explained what they are with photographic evidence, if you think its something else they lay out your argument, saying "why this" and "what about that" isnt getting you anywhere

Calm down Gloria, nobody is asking you to give a fuck?

I don't know what they are, that's why I was asking - if you don't want to bother talking about this then don't click on reply - no idea why you're going for me like this

I have stopped my anti-depressants cold turkey

Im a little testy at the moment 

Sorry pal

I didn't realize he had those marks on both legs. I'm not familiar with the strips. But if you wanted good compression then wrapping the entire circumference of the leg both front and back makes sense.

It’s a very comfortable feeling knowing that we’re in the presence of so many doctors

I have been comatose on the meds for 2 half years, no ups and a few downs, its like your lifes flatlining
Winning and losing shows I felt exactly the same , nothing.

Since stopping the meds last Friday, the same day I decided I was never competing again, I have had noises in my head like the wind blowing and I almost dragged someone out of his car because he wouldnt move forward to let me out of a space.

Its like my brain is waking up again
Sleeping is difficult because a guy owes me £1500 for work I paid him for but he didnt do and its spinning around in my head

I will have to get someone to get the money from him because I cant trust myself to remain calm
I have given him until 1st December to pay me then its a debt collector at his address on the 2nd
I will make sure who goes is less tolerant than I am
