My 75 year old mother woke up this morning complaining of a sore spot on her leg that hurts and is hot to the touch. The spot is on/within one of many existing varicose veins on her right calf. I've been searching for symptoms to decide if we should be concerned enough to bring her to the ER or if it can wait until her doctor can see her on Monday but I'm finding conflicting results.
Thoughts? Comments? Opinions? Same experience? Treatment at home?

A hot sensation and soreness can easily mean some sort of infection, and this could be associated with a clot. Take her to the doctor as soon as you can make an appointment. If the pain gets any worse, call 911 and have her taken to the ER.

When I turned 28 I already had been in pain, embarrassed, and scared of becoming pregnant. I didn't want my big blue varicose veins to get worse. The All Natural Varicose & Spider Vein Solution program was an easy read and easy to do. Within 21 days there was a big difference in how my legs looked and I can wear shorts without feeling embarrassed. I feel so much better with more energy and for giving me back a healthier body, and the legs that a 28 year old should have.

After 10 years of struggling with all sorts of creams and pills to treat this embarrassing problem I was able to get rid of my varicose veins by using natural healing methods and alternative herbal home remedies.
Read Diane Thompson's "Varicose Veins Secrets" (also available in electronic format at: http://www.varicoseveinscure.org ). By following this guide book I was able to eradicate my varicose veins pretty fast. God bless!

Take her to the hospital especially if it is hot to the touch. It isn't worth chancing her life by waiting until Monday.

There is a possiblility of blood clot.
If the pain is severe, the leg is swelling, or the leg is dis-colored. Get to the ER.
If you are concerned, though, it is best to get it checked out just to be sure.
