Signs and Symptoms

During the initial stages of varicose veins, patients usually have mild symptoms, which are experienced more toward the end of the day. The onset of symptoms is often very subtle, so much so that many people forget how their legs felt before they had problems. As the condition worsens, symptoms become more noticeable.

The initial signs and symptoms may include:

  • Aching
  • Burning or numbness
  • Cramping or 'Charley horse'
  • Heaviness
  • Itching
  • Leg pain
  • Restlessness in legs
  • Tiredness
  • Swelling in feet ankles and calves

  • Left untreated, may result in skin discoloration, bleeding veins, sores that heal poorly, and blood clots.

Over time, the symptoms will worsen and could result in skin discoloration, sores, blood clots, frequent skin infections, and bleeding.

It might be surprising to learn that restless leg syndrome, leg cramps, swollen ankles, ulcers, varicose veins, and spider veins could all be symptoms of vein disease. We've helped thousands achieve relief with in-office treatments.
