I Have Itchy Legs,blood Pooling In Feet And Pain In Legs. Are These Symptoms Related ?
Itchy legs(after shower, below knee , nothing to do with shaving etc), blood pooling in feet(and the skin on my legs also get blotchy looking) and pain that moves around limbs ,and joints, mostly legs. This doesn t happen all at the same time; but could they be connected? I am 21, 8 1/2 stone, and have hypothyroidism . Please don t just say it must be my thyroid without giving a reason because I need an answer!

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
The symptoms correlate with varicose veins .But confirmation of the diagnosis can be made only by physical examination.
I advise you to visit your Surgeon and get examined for the same.
Meanwhile , please make a habit of wearing stockings to enhance venous return from your legs and decrease your symptoms.
If you need more information feel free to mail me..
Take care
