What Causes Legs Pain While Treating Varicose Veins?
I am 55 years old, and fairly healthy, but my legs hurt. I have dealt with vericose veins, and after going back to exercising I now have new ones and I feel extreme tension and pain in my legs. I stopped the exercising a month ago but this is what I m left with.

Hi;
It seems like you have venous insufficiency in your legs. Lower extremity venous Doppler USG examination and physical examination performed by a vascular surgeon are needed. If grade 4 reflux or enlargement are detected in your inner veins, surgery is mandatory. If not, compression stockings along with venotonic drugs (Daflon, Venoruton etc.) are beneficial.
May you recover soon
