Signs and Symptoms
During the intial stages, patients usually have mild symptoms, which are experienced more towards the end of the day. The onset of the symptoms is very subtle, so much so, that many people forget how their legs felt before they had problems. As the condition worsens, symptoms become more noticeable.
The intial signs and symptoms may include:
- Leg Pain
- Heaviness
- Tiredness
- Aching
- Restlessness in legs
- Burning or numbness
- Cramping or “Charlie horse”
- Swelling in feet, ankles and calves
Over time, symptoms will worsen and could result in skin changes, chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and other complications.
