Symptoms of Varicose Veins
Varicose veins might not trigger any pain. Typical symptoms would include:
– Veins that have a blue or dark purple color
– Bulging, swollen, or twisted veins on the legs that look quite similar to cords
When painful symptoms appear, they might include:
– Swelling, muscle cramping, throbbing or burning in the lower legs
– A heavy or achy sensation in the legs
– Skin discoloration around the affected areas
– Itching veins
– Pain after an extended period of inactivity [4]
