varicose-veins

11587059 tn?1427628263 Not uncommon. The tingling fingers and feet sound like poor blood circulation which is also related to varicose veins I think. (Varicose veins are due to blood not pumping all the way through and backlogging/leaking back into the veins.) Bruised legs also circulatory, sounds like spider veins, which are related to varicose but don't stick out and they spread out more. Itching could be circulatory as well, or puppps or liver issues or allergies or sensitive skin.
Avatar m tn Take sociable garlic and vitamin E capsules to improve circulation and vitamin C and B-complex vitamins to strengthen your blood vessels, Massage your legs with upward strokes, flushing your blood up to your heart. Use a massage oil made with 3 drops of lavender oil and 1 drop of peppermint oil in a coconut oil base (use unscented coconut oil), or put only the essential oils into a small spray bottle filled with water and spray directly on your legs. St.
Avatar n tn Spider web veins and varicose veins interfer with the blood circulation to lower extremites and poor circulation can cause the numbness. They form when blood flow is slow due to weak valves (valves are a one-way flap tha closes as the blood moves toward the heart to prevent backflow due to gravity. If blood returning to the heart is slower than normal due to the veins confirguration, that could cause the heart to beat faster than normal.
Avatar n tn I had some good insurance for a few months and took care of some large varicose veins I had on same leg. I have not had a cramp since. I never knew the pooling of blood in this leg from the varicose veins contributed to my leg cramps, but apparently that was my culprit.
Avatar f tn My veins are very prominent and I had some varicose and ventricular ones on my legs but not to the extent of yours. They never stripped as I caught them early. They did a doplar and then administered saline injections. Once the ventricular veins had collapsed, they used laser for the smaller ones. I go in every few years and have them laser veins that are beginning to show. When My legs ache I wear those "peds" and elevate my feet at home...helps me.
Avatar n tn My mother has similar problems with her legs, and both of us bruise like tomatoes. While both my mom and I do also suffer from varicose and spider veins, this is NOT what my question is about. I am trying to determine the cause of (and hopefully treat) the all-over reddish honeycomb pattern. Has anyone heard or seen or experienced this?
519035 tn?1348275773 It is caused by poor circulation from the thyroid grrrrr! I have so much to learn. I hope I can help anyone else tho!
Avatar n tn I'm 16 weeks pregnant, first pregnancy and have noticed varicose veins on the backs of my knees/legs, are they permenant?
155701 tn?1230047101 I wouldn't completely rule out varicose veins because I have read that they can occasionally be painful. If that is the case & a doctor recommends they be treated, a lot of U.S. Medical Insurance plans cover this. I only mention this because I have spider veins (mostly in my right thigh) but they are just ugly, not painful, so the treatment to get rid of them is not covered by insurance.
Avatar m tn So I check to see if my blood was clotting and they siad it was fine and so was my circulation. I still have the pain and you can feel it even it you can't see the viens like in my arms I can feel the veins swell sometimes. My mother in law just had one do this next to her eye. She went in and they told her that it was because on the blood thinners that she is on??? I have talked to some people about this and some say that when the Drink green tea it makes it worse?
1138687 tn?1548643978 Hi, I am looking for support for my varicose veins! I have what would be considered a pretty severe case and I'm only 31 and male. I've had them since youth, but after all the chaos in my life in that past 5 yrs, I haven't been in touch with my body as much as usual!
Avatar f tn I personally would take this question to your doctor and make sure all is alright with the veins and circulation.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn From working long hospital shifts and pregnancy, I got a few spider veins and varicosities. Dermalmd Varicose Veins serum is supposed to help with circulation and decrease appearance of these veins. serum applies nicely. Not sticky. Veins seem to have improved and appear to be faded.
Avatar f tn If kidney, heart and liver problems have been taken care of, then the pain and swelling in the legs could be due to varicose veins with faulty valves of the deep vein causing venous pooling. A dopplar study or angiogram of the blood vessels of the leg should be done. Wearing a hose or stocking specially designed for varicose veins may help. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar m tn These include horse chestnut, as mentioned, witch hazel, gota kola, and hot herbs which help circulation, such as cayenne. Varicose veins are caused by weakness in the vascular walls, and these herbs help strengthen them. Many companies make good formulas, including Herb Pharm and Nature's Way. Hey, Deep, stop pushing GNC. They're just not reliable, and you never know what's in their supplements.
1070610 tn?1279274410 There are two types of veins, one causes spider veins these are little, the other causes varicous veins and these are the big veins, often the causes of lower leg ache, swelling and colour change. You get relief from walking around, which suggests that being verticle restores the venous flow to the limb, aching and tight calf due to the blood flowing again. I just happened to be reading a very good article last night, i'll go find it for you.
Avatar f tn s broom has a long history of traditional use for hemorrhoids and varicose veins. It is often used when there is underlying poor circulation in the veins. Horse Chestnut The herb horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), like Butchers broom, is often recommended when there is poor circulation in the veins, or chronic venous insufficiency. In folk medicine, it is used to relieve symptoms such as swelling and inflammation and strengthen blood vessel walls. Triphala.
Avatar m tn Horse chestnut is the best-known natural treatment for varicose veins. It helps prevent swelling and strengthens capillary and vein walls. The usual dose is 300 mg a day. Side effects are pretty rare, but if you start feeling itchy or nauseous, taper back your dose. Nature’s Way has a widely available, quality product. Grape seed extract also supports the walls of blood vessels. Take 150 to 300 mg in divided doses over the course of a day. I like the Activin product.
Avatar n tn Has anyone else suffered from vaginal varicose veins this is my 3rd pregnancy and I'm 27 weeks.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Ted hoses your doctor can recommend some to help you when your standing all day. They will help prevent varicose veins and help with your circulation.
1004161 tn?1252481849 There,s nothing I can recall that has precipitated it. I have poor circulation in my legs, many varicose veins and a family history of circulation problems in the legs. No one ever complained of RLS, but no one knew about that in the past. If your wife's RLS is caused by reduced circulation, getting out of bed and walking should relieve it. It has never awakened me. Once I get relief from walking, it stops. I sympathize with her.It can take a while to work.
Avatar f tn fatigue, shortness of breathe at times, poor circulation (hands and feet are always cold even in warm months/developing varicose veins), and occasional dizziness. I started taking subliminal b12 strips because she said I may have pernicious anemia and found that I couldn’t function without them after a while of taking them. I am not sure what to do.
