Could Your Leg Pain Be a Vein Issue?

Persistent leg pain or burning sensations aren’t always muscular — they can relate to poor vein function. Knowing the symptoms of vein disease can guide you toward the right kind of treatment.

Chronic venous insufficiency can cause throbbing, itching, or a feeling of heaviness that worsens with standing. If you’ve noticed these symptoms, especially in combination with visible veins, your leg pain could be circulatory in nature. This means blood isn’t flowing efficiently through the veins back to your heart.

The good news is that many modern treatments are non-surgical and performed under local anesthesia. Options like foam sclerotherapy or radiofrequency ablation are effective for many patients and offer quick recovery times.

Don’t ignore discomfort that persists or affects your daily activity. Early intervention can prevent complications like skin thickening or ulcers.
