Leg pain can be caused by muscle, vascular, joint, and neurological diseases, as well as injuries.
Severe pain in the veins does not appear suddenly but develops gradually. More acute and persistent vascular pain is a sign of thrombophlebitis.
What causes vascular pain in the legs?
Leg pain arises from impaired vessel function. In these patients, the vein walls become thinner and the vessels lose elasticity. Blood pools in certain areas. The vessel wall becomes inflamed. Because the blood thickens, it moves sluggishly, and pressure on the vein walls increases.
If you have these symptoms in your legs, it means there is a problem with your blood vessels:
Coldness in the legs
Legs that swell toward the evening
Wounds that heal slowly, or a wound that does not heal
Leg pain after standing for a long time, especially in the evenings
If you have the symptoms above, do not delay seeing a vascular surgeon!
