varicose-veins
I'm 24 weeks pregnant, and i have recently noticed varicose veins from my right leg, to my heel. is it normal to feel lots of blood rushing from my knee to my foot? And that being the only spot in either of my two legs. Sometimes my leg hurts so much I can't even walk on it, and other days its fine. I told my doctor and he keeps telling me its a Charlie horse in my leg, and I have had them and it doesn't feel like that , please give me a second opinion!
Hi ladies,
while I am yet to receive any stretch marks, the veins in my legs are dark blue and beginning to bulge and I have red spider veins at the back of my knees. Rather unsightly, especially as we are heading into summer where I live.
Anyone have experience reducing these? Did they go away after birth or am I stuck with them for good?
I have tried the compression stockings and they are giving me some relief for my varicose veins. My legs are swollen as well and there is a reduction in the pain as well. I am also able to do some physical activity where it was too uncomfortable before.
This is my third pregnancy and I am dealing with varicose veins for the first time. I am 16 weeks. They hurt and seem like they will only get worse with the pregnancy. I wear compression stockings at work and that seems to help. Not sure there is anything else I can do besides that and take it easy.Good luck!!
Compression stockings ladies! Were them while working on your feet and the ugly veins can be prevented!
//www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/varicose-veins/symptoms-causes/syc-20350643. Basically, weak or damaged valves lead to varicose veins. Being obese is a risk factor and losing weight would likely help a multitude of things in your life. That's never easy but something that would be very beneficial to work on. Sitting for prolonged periods of time also contribute to varicose veins. You are a young man and this should be a priority for your health.
I a 30 years old I currently have terrible varicose veins in both upper legs running down to my feet. I am on hospital waiting list but it's three years and as i have no money to go private I have to just bear it. I wear compression stockings most days. The problem is I am a boxer in training and every time I train the veins get worse. Every night I extend my feet up to let the blood flow back down.
I also have the same problem this is my second pregnancy and there worse. And I have them every where to where the shocking wont help. I just elevate my feet hopefully that works for u as well.
Hello and hope you are doing well.
Varicose veins are caused by hormone changes, exposure to the sun, and injuries. Few predisposing factors for developing varicose veins are prolonged standing or sitting, chronic constipation, menstrual cycle, birth control pills/estrogen replacement therapy, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, pregnancy etc.It may not be possible to determine the exact cause of your symptoms without a detailed evaluation.
This pregnancy i have developed some varicose veins. I have one that is protruding on my left inner calf and is right on top of bad spider vein. It is tender to the touch and i can feel a little discomfort walking up and down stairs. Is this normal or could it actually be a blood clot? It is not warm to the touch just painful and tender.
That does sound like varicose veins. Often these are harmless and you can self treat but do show them to your doctor on your next visit. Prop your legs up and elevate them, you could try regular exercise which helps (if you are cleared for activity), losing some weight if you need to and compression stockings can help keep them from getting worse. If they do get worse or they really worry you, then see your doctor now about them. There are good treatments these days. https://www.mayoclinic.
Hello,
Varicose veins are enlarged and tortuous veins. Elevate the legs and wear compression stockings. Specific treatment options include stripping, sclerotherapy, endovenous thermal ablation and venous stripping.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
If you walk around in your job try getting compression stockings.
You can wear compression stockings to start with. Upward massage of legs also helps in milking the deep veins. There are various treatment options like sclerosing therapy and stripping. You can consult a vascular specialist.
Hope this helps. Take care!
Compression stockings don't help i use them everyday they have caused a sore on the top of my foot.
Your symptoms may be related to a vascular issue rather than a neurologic one. Specifically, varicose veins can cause a burning or pain in the feet and behind the knees that is felt less during movement. Most often, bulging veins will be visible on the legs. This is more likely if you stand a lot; treatment is with compression stockings, leg elevation, and sometimes there are injection or surgical treatments available.
( I hope you can get some tips on what helps and feel better soon.
