Sclerotherapy is one of the leading treatments for the removal of spider veins, reticular veins, and small varicose veins because it is minimally invasive, safe, and relatively pain-free.
The metatarsal bones, or metatarsus are a group of five long bones in the foot, located between the tarsal bones of the hind-and mid-foot and the phalanges of the toes.he base of each metatarsal bone articulates with one or more of the tarsal bones at the tarsometatarsal joints, and the head with one of the first row of phalanges at the metatarsophalangeal joints.
The term literally means pain on the metatarsal (there are 5 metatarsal bones in the forefoot). Metatarsalgia is not a true diagnosis, but rather it is a symptom. Patients with metatarsalgia present with pain in their forefoot, usually in the ball of the foot (Figure 1). The pain is often described as aching, and it is typically aggravated by standing and walking.
