Aching legs
The increasing pressure in the veins and the twisting causes pain and burning sensation in the legs. Some people with varicose veins describe the pain as throbbing and aching, usually continuing until they give their legs a rest. While some people feel their legs cramping when they get up after sitting for too long or when they try to walk. The pain in the legs also makes it difficult and nearly impossible for the varicose veins patients to walk properly or to stand for a long time.
