Varicose veins: The 5 symptoms of vein disease – why aching legs is a key sign

Heaviness and Aching in Legs

Heaviness and swelling in the leg, especially towards the end of the day, is common for those with vein disease.

This symptom can occur with or without the presence of visually prominent veins.

Mr Sideso said: “Those suffering from vein disease can also frequently experience aching and itchiness around the surrounding area, so a sudden increase in these sensations may be an indicator that your vein health is declining.

“Both heaviness in the leg and prominent veins indicate underlying issues with veins and, if you are affected by both symptoms, then it is likely you have damaged or diseased veins and you should arrange a consultation with your doctor or a vein specialist.

“However, there are also signs that you have a more serious vein disease that requires urgent treatment, or that you have experienced complications after treatment for varicose veins and should seek further help.”
