The first symptoms of varicose veins often do not attract much attention. Tired legs are attributed to the end of the day, swelling is explained by drinking too much water... Such negligence can lead to irreversible changes in the future.
Acute back pain is a complex and important medical and social problem. Between 80 and 100% of adults experience back pain at least once in their lives.
Low back pain is one of the most common complaints in therapeutic practice and the main cause of temporary disability.
Low back pain syndrome refers to pain localized between the 12th pair of ribs and the gluteal folds. Recently, there is an opinion that low back pain (LBP) is a problem in which.
Varicose veins are a pathological process in the veins, during which their walls become thinner, their diameter increases, and local dilations resembling aneurysms form.
Varicose veins are one of the most common vascular pathologies: today almost every tenth inhabitant of our planet suffers from this disease.
Varicose veins should be treated outside of pregnancy, but sometimes varicose veins should be treated in pregnant women. This article will tell you about the rules for treating varicose veins in pregnant women, tell you which doctor to contact and what medications to use.
Nothing spoils the appearance of the foot more than a protruding base of the big toe - a bunion. But a bone is not only a cosmetic defect, but also a serious orthopedic disease that requires serious, sometimes surgical, treatment.
Pregnancy and the birth of a child are, of course, the most important events in a woman’s life. However, the joy of having a baby and communicating with him is often overshadowed by changes in a woman’s body associated with pregnancy and childbirth.
The spots have been unchanged for quite some time. They are not felt at all on the surface of the skin, as if they were subcutaneous. They turn pale in the evening, in the morning, while you are lying down, they are not visible at all. They turn pale when pressed or with water treatments (they don’t get any bigger with water). They become brighter from any ointments. Advantan doesn't help. From time to time they become smaller, then they pour out again. Disappearing spots become brown, new ones become inflamed scarlet, then darken. They may merge into small areas of redness, then again in these places there are separate spots. With the onset of heat, rashes appeared on the stomach, side and a little on the back. But still the main part is on the chest and lower abdomen. It seems to me that they react to flemoxin - either disappear or change somehow. I took a course of Flemoxin once when my back hurt again, but I’m not sure that these changes are definitely caused by it.
Please tell me what diagnostic options there may be, how dangerous it is and which doctor to contact? Dermatologists and allergists believe that this is not their area of expertise. I made an appointment with a rheumatologist - the waiting list is 2 months. Maybe you need to get checked by another specialist, or take additional tests. tests?
The best thing to do is wait for a consultation with a rheumatologist, and then make further decisions.
Please consult. I have a hopeless situation. Early pathological menopause. To relieve all the symptoms of menopause, I was prescribed OK-Yarina (which I have been taking for 3 months). My health has improved significantly, but nagging pain in the veins in my legs began to bother me. 6 years ago, my left leg was operated on (varicose veins). Endocr.gin. - convincingly insists even (with normal prothrombin 64.7) Aspmrin Cardio 1/2, after 2 days, so as not to aggravate problems with the legs and the subsequent formation of thrombophlebitis (thrombosis). I'm very afraid of this. Today I use compressed underwear and Venitan-Forte ointment 2 times a day. Detralex 2t per day, 3 weeks. Further tactics for my condition. Is Aspirin Cardio indicated? Or something else, and why after 3 weeks of Detralex there is pain (on palpation the pain is insignificant, the color of the leg has not changed. Thank you
I had problems with the veins in my legs, they were swollen, but there was no pain. During pregnancy, when it was hot in the summer), the vessels burst and this red mark remained (a year and a half had passed since the birth). NOW my veins are popping out like an old nag’s leg where the blood vessels have burst. I don’t want to have the operation yet because... I don’t feel any pain, of course there is discomfort, but you can lift your legs high and everything is fine. How can this disgrace be removed without surgical intervention? At home I sometimes wear compression socks
After the operation, my back hurts a lot from the lower back to the tailbone. The legs hurt along the back to the bottom of the calf, heels and big toes. More on the right. I can’t stand or walk for more than 15-20 minutes, my lower back starts to hurt and my legs hurt more and more, then I can’t step on them and the pain goes up the spine to my head, it starts to put pressure, my head hurts and there’s a veil in my eyes. It is very painful to climb the stairs. When bending forward and backward, the pain in the back and legs intensifies. Behind the knee of the right leg there is a pulling, as if a vein is hurting. In the morning I can’t get up on my feet, it’s heavy, it takes about 30 minutes to get going. The soles of the feet and palms of the hands periodically burn, go numb, and leg cramps occur.
With any physical activity you feel bad, there is not enough air, as if there is a congestion somewhere and there is nothing to breathe and it begins to put pressure on your head. Even when I get dressed, I start to choke and my head presses. When I stand too, especially when I straighten up straight, I immediately begin to put pressure on my head and behind my ears and I begin to choke. If you can’t sit or lie down, all your muscles begin to ache. There is trembling and weakness in the legs and arms. There is pain in the muscles of the arms even with a slight load when I comb or write. I can’t carry a bag that’s not very heavy, my arms hurt and the pain immediately goes to the lower back, tailbone, legs and puts pressure on my head.
My near vision is greatly reduced; I can’t see near with my right eye. Spirals and midges constantly move in the eyes and never disappear; with load, they become more numerous. There are colors in the eyes like splinters. When I close my eyes I also see white dots. The eyes hurt in the middle, it feels like they are popping out, it hurts to turn to the side
All the time there is pressure on the back of my head, my forehead, a veil in my eyes prevents me from looking, glare, double vision, everything blurs, my consciousness is confused, I can’t concentrate, my vision narrows, I feel nauseous, I feel dizzy. The head seems to be filled with something. There is periodic ringing and noise in my head. It’s like there’s sand in the neck, in the eyes and behind the ears.
Swelling all over the body, especially the legs, at the bottom of the legs like cuffs and lumps under the skin. It hurts to touch your feet. The muscles atrophied, became soft, as if they were not there at all. I'm all puffed up. Doctors say pasty.
In the abdomen above the navel there is pain, pressure, cutting, especially after eating. The stomach is constantly distended, constantly grumbling and there is a lot of gas. There is dysbacteriosis. As soon as I eat, I also feel bad, I’m choking and there’s pressure on my head. I often feel nauseous in the morning and continue throughout the day. The feces have an unpleasant odor and contain particles of undigested food.
At night the side I’m lying on goes numb, I have to roll over all the time, I can’t sleep on my stomach, there’s pain in my lower back, legs and head. I can’t sleep on my back for a long time; it puts pressure on the back of my head and my head starts to hurt. The right leg hurts at night and twitches in the toes. There are lumbagos like a needle from the sole upwards. I wake up several times at night from a strong ringing in my head. And also when I fall asleep I hear a strong ringing several times. At night I sweat a lot, all my hair and shirt are wet. The pressure drops from 90 to 60 or 85-55 and then I can’t get up at all. Before the operation, my blood pressure was 120 over 80. This was my constant blood pressure, I felt good and was never sick or in the hospital. If I was sick, it was rare and only acute respiratory infections.
According to blood tests, there is toxicity, it exceeds the norm by 2.5 times. Red spots constantly appear on the neck and eyes and itch, peel, and the head itches all the time. Many red dots and moles have appeared on the body and they are becoming more numerous. There are bruises under the eyes. Hair is falling out a lot. I constantly feel very tired
Before the operation I weighed 50-52 kg. Every year my weight increases, I eat the same. This is due to swelling of the blood vessels. There's probably a lack of traffic somewhere. Now I weigh almost 60. I am constantly tired, even when I wake up. Fatigue is growing and since lunch I can barely walk, I have no strength to move at all.
It seems to me that there are problems with blood vessels, the spine and the gastrointestinal tract. Most likely, the vessels or adhesions between organs are mechanically clamped and the sidal or other nerve is affected.
Our doctors cannot understand anything. I went for examinations to another city. . Did an MRI: disc protrusions L4-S1, archiodal cysts of the sacral canal and sacral foramen S1-S2, L4-S1 Rotated, reduced height at the L4-5 foramina? The left intervertebral foramen was stenated. Signs of osteochondrosis L4-S1 left-sided foramental disc protrusion. The neurosurgeon said that the pain comes from the fact that blood vessels or nerves in the peritoneum may be affected, or adhesions.
There are congenital heart problems. Valve prolapse and aneurysm I am sending you the results. Help me please! Tell me, what's wrong with me? Is it possible to come to you for examination? I have no strength to live like this anymore. Thank you in advance.
Painful sensations in the vessels of the lower extremities (behind the knee or on the shin) are more disturbing to middle-aged and elderly people. There are a number of predisposing factors leading to the development of venous diseases. What are these diseases and what to do with them?
Symptoms of venous insufficiency increase gradually, that is, the patient is not always in a hurry to see a vascular surgeon (for example, the vein does not suddenly swell, but slowly expands). It is this insidious feature that leads to late diagnosis of various diseases of the venous bed and certain difficulties in their treatment.
A symptom that has arisen once, for example, a reddened and clearly visible vein under the knee at the back, which is swollen in comparison with others, will not disappear spontaneously, but will only grow, taking over previously healthy areas.
Modern methods of treating diseases of the venous bed, including surgical ones, make it possible, if not to completely cure such a patient, then to significantly slow down the further progression of the disease.
Venous insufficiency can manifest itself in different ways; symptoms can appear suddenly or grow rather slowly over several years. Among the most common diseases of the veins of the lower extremities are:
The final answer to the question of why the veins in the legs hurt and which treatment method is preferable in a particular situation, what exactly needs to be done and what should not be done categorically, can be given by a vascular surgeon (phlebologist).
Venous insufficiency is manifested by excessive accumulation of blood in large and small venous vessels. The anatomical features of the veins are that the muscle wall is much less developed than in the arteries, and special valves prevent the reverse flow of blood. With a significant load (the reasons are described above), the veins cannot cope with a large volume of blood - stagnation forms.
Symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency arise and grow rather slowly, which is determined by the nature of the action of external and internal provoking factors.
Diagnosis of venous insufficiency usually does not cause serious difficulties, especially for a specialist. In some cases, ultrasound examination and Doppler sonography are required for a comprehensive assessment of the condition and patency of not only superficial, but also deep venous vessels.
Treatment of chronic venous insufficiency can be conservative and surgical. Conservative tactics mean the following.
Surgical treatment is indicated for increasing venous insufficiency, but only if a limited number of venous vessels are affected. If the entire network of veins of the lower extremities is affected, then removal or sclerosis of all branches is simply impossible. Currently, there are the following options for surgical treatment of venous insufficiency.
Surgical intervention quickly eliminates pain in the altered veins of the legs, but there are frequent cases of a repeated episode of the disease or damage to the deep venous bed.
With further progression of the resulting changes in the venous vessels, there is a tendency to increased thrombus formation - small and large blood clots form in the parietal region of various veins, which can break off at any time and clog any vessel in the human body. Often microcirculation disorders are combined with inflammatory changes, that is, chronic venous insufficiency is complicated by thrombophlebitis.
Symptoms of thrombophlebitis are as follows:
With thrombophlebitis, warming compresses and massage should absolutely not be done - a parietal thrombus may break off. Complex therapy uses:
Timely treatment within a week will eliminate all symptoms.
Its peculiarity is rapid and sudden development. A thrombus from a vein or any other part of the body completely or partially blocks the lumen of the vessel and disrupts blood flow. Its possible signs:
The main thing to do is to go to the hospital as soon as possible. With prolonged disruption of blood flow, tissue necrosis develops, which may be irreversible. In the case of thrombosis of a large vessel and prolonged cessation of blood flow, there may be talk of the need for limb amputation.
It should be understood that pain in a vein (on the shin or behind the knee) is not a reason to think about the worst, but you shouldn’t put off a visit to a vascular surgeon for a long time either.
Currently, many people are faced with such an unpleasant problem as pain in the veins. The occurrence of venous pain can be caused by many reasons - fatigue, severe stress, as well as various phlebological diseases.
But the main and main reason why pain occurs in the veins of the legs is poor circulation. It is the improper outflow of blood that ultimately causes inflammation and discomfort.
The occurrence of pain in the veins is often not only a sign of fatigue, but also the first sign of the appearance of varicose veins, as well as thrombosis, phlebitis. This usually occurs due to poor circulation, which requires immediate treatment.
Often, pain in the veins that is observed in the legs, especially in the legs, behind the knees and in the calf muscles, is associated with a phenomenon called venous insufficiency. As a result, this leads to the appearance of various phlebological pathologies.
Causes of pain in the veins that are not associated with phlebological diseases:
But still, more often than not, painful discomfort in the venous system is caused by phlebological diseases.
Varicose veins become wide, inflamed, and protruding. In appearance they look like crimped cords with a bluish color. In addition, inflamed blood vessels can be seen through the skin, and they look like blue or purple ropes.
During this disease, the elasticity and functionality of the blood vessels decrease, they become rigid and their structure thickens.
The main symptoms of varicose veins:
Thrombophlebitis is an inflammation of the walls of the veins, during which a blood clot appears in the lumen of the vessel. This pathology usually appears in patients who already have varicose veins.
The main symptom accompanying this disease is severe pain in the veins and their subsequent inflammation; they acquire a dense structure and protrude through the skin.
When you touch the inflamed veins, severe pain occurs, which is most often observed in the upper part of the lower leg and under the knee.
Deep vein thrombosis in the legs in most cases initially occurs without significant symptoms. Quite often, this disease occurs in patients with paralysis of the arms or legs, as well as in bedridden patients.
Postphlebitic syndrome is a condition that occurs after various venous pathologies, which is accompanied by the process of restoring the patency of the veins.
During this condition, resorption or replacement of blood clots by connective tissue fibers is observed. However, the valve flaps are in a damaged state, and they can no longer function normally.
This condition is accompanied by severe pain in the veins, as a result of which patients often even limp. In addition, my legs constantly swell.
In women, there are many causes of pain in the veins, mainly phlebological diseases that are also inherent in men, namely:
However, in addition to these diseases, women also experience other pathologies and conditions that are accompanied by pain in the area of the venous vessels.
Varicose veins of the pelvic veins also sometimes occur, during which severe pain also occurs in the area of the inflamed veins.
In addition to pain, there is another important symptom - increased pain in the lower abdomen and copious discharge from the genitals.
Basically, the pain is aching and pulling, sometimes radiating to the groin area.
Pain during pregnancy mainly occurs due to increased severity and load. Particularly severe pain appears in the second trimester of pregnancy; at this stage, many women develop varicose veins in the groin area.
In addition to pain, varicose veins during pregnancy are accompanied by symptoms:
Typically, pain in the veins is accompanied by the following symptoms:
There are a large number of folk remedies and methods for relieving and relieving pain in the veins, among which it is worth highlighting the most effective:
At the first signs of discomfort in the veins, you should immediately contact a phlebologist or vascular surgeon. Then a thorough examination is carried out aimed at identifying the cause of the pain in the veins. This problem is mainly caused by phlebological diseases.
In these cases, the doctor prescribes complex treatment:
During therapy, special anti-varicose drugs are used, which have a tonic effect on the movement of blood in the veins, and also strengthen the venous walls, eliminate swelling and prevent other dangerous consequences.
The following types of drugs are prescribed:
Most often in modern vascular surgery, minimally invasive treatment methods are used. For varicose veins, laser coagulation or radiofrequency obliteration is prescribed. During these operations, the affected vein is sealed on both sides.
Sometimes varicose veins are treated with a venectomy. During this operation, the vein is completely removed. This method is considered outdated and is used only in municipal and state medical institutions.
In case of thrombosis, thrombectomy may be prescribed. This treatment method is prescribed if there is a risk of pulmonary embolism, gangrene and other serious consequences.
Thrombosis can also be treated with balloon angioplasty. During this procedure, the lumen of the vessel is restored, which increases the movement of blood inside it.
For varicose veins and other phlebological diseases, various physiotherapeutic procedures are prescribed:
Veins in the legs hurt - the causes of pain, and the factors contributing to this may be different. For example, external and internal, depending on a person’s behavior, and those that he cannot influence.
The underlying causes of perceived pain in the veins of the legs are an increase in blood viscosity, damage to the inner wall of the vein and endocrine disorders (primarily obesity), as well as vascular diseases caused by a genetic predisposition to them and provoking factors. Please note that venous leg disease can also result from:
Some factors are worth mentioning separately. For example, about working conditions. Both a lack of activity and its excess lead to changes in the venous wall, swelling and pain in the lower extremities. People who spend a lot of time on their feet are at risk. For example, sellers and foot couriers.
People whose work involves lifting and carrying heavy objects and drivers also often have problems with veins. People whose profession involves being in a vibration zone for a long time. And office employees who spend a long time in a sitting position, sometimes forced and uncomfortable, begin to complain of pain in their legs over time.
During pregnancy, due to the associated increase in body weight, pressure on the pelvic organs and veins, their blood supply is disrupted. Women's legs hurt and swell, especially in the last trimester. Varicose veins and thrombophlebitis may develop. Hormonal changes in the woman’s body play an important role in this process. Therefore, as a preventive measure, expectant mothers are recommended to wear special compression garments.
These and other negative factors listed above lead to venous diseases. Veins in the legs also hurt due to:
Modern phlebology believes that there is no direct connection between liver diseases and, for example, varicose veins. Indeed, changes in the liver cannot affect the valve apparatus of the vein. But if a vein in your leg hurts badly, it’s not just varicose veins. If the liver is displaced, this organ can mechanically compress the inferior vena cava and affect the speed of blood flow in it.
This will lead to congestion in the lower extremities and the development of pain. In addition, the liver cell (hepatocyte) is the main site of synthesis of most proteins of the blood coagulation system. Therefore, liver diseases are fraught with both the development of a tendency to bleeding and the possibility of blood clots. For example, cirrhosis of the liver can be complicated by thrombosis.
Unfortunately, veins in the arms can also hurt. Most often, the venous network of the lower extremities is affected, but there are situations in which the veins in the legs and arms hurt, or only the upper extremities suffer. All the reasons that provoke venous disorders in the legs can cause the same problems in the veins of the upper extremities. In addition, long-term catheterization of a vein or frequent intravenous manipulation can lead to phlebitis and thrombosis.
Why do the veins in the legs hurt in people who don’t transmit it, try to eat right, organize their day rationally, and give up bad habits? Because a person leading a healthy lifestyle is not immune from genetic abnormalities that cause disruptions in the blood coagulation system, injuries, infectious diseases, and intravenous manipulations.
A woman, especially a healthy one, will definitely want to give birth to a child, sometimes more than one. These are all factors that can lead to disturbances in the functional state of the vascular bed and pain in the veins. What is characteristic of venous pain?
How do veins hurt in your legs? And how to determine that the veins in the legs hurt, and not the muscles, for example? Venous stagnation is characterized not so much by pain as by heaviness in the legs, a feeling of fullness, a feeling that the legs are “filled” with water and severe fatigue, which can be relieved by washing the legs in cool water.
As the process progresses, pain still appears: dull and aching. After a long period of rest, it may be difficult to walk, then after a short period of time the difficulties disappear; usually in such a situation they say “dispersed.” Then the intensity of the pain increases, a feeling is created that the legs are “twisted”, long-term night pain appears, interfering with sleep, and swelling, which is easy to determine visually.
During this period, changes in the vascular wall of the superficial veins become noticeable even to a non-specialist. If blood clots form in veins close to the surface, swelling is noticeable at the site of the blood clot.
If the veins in the legs are inflamed, the pain is quite intense; with the development of the inflammatory process (phlebitis), swelling and redness are observed along the affected vein. There may be a feeling on the border between “painful” and “itching”. There is a feeling as if the vein is itching from the inside, then it is replaced by pain at the site of inflammation. What to do when the veins in your legs hurt? Of course, you need to get treatment, and you need to start in the earliest period, when the first heaviness in your legs appears.
The answer to this question will depend on the cause of the pathology. Sometimes general recommendations are enough and you can completely correct the situation, but more often a person seeks help when the changes are irreversible, and you can only improve the condition and slow down the process.
What to do if the veins in your legs hurt? If the process has not yet gone too far, there are no thromboses or varicose veins, you need to start with simple things: reconsider your lifestyle and diet. Perhaps this will be enough if the problem is deeper, general measures still won’t hurt:
What other help can a person provide to himself and what should he pay attention to first?
If a person returns late from work, there is no way to see a specialist, and the veins in his legs hurt: what to do and who to contact?
In any case, it is better to consult a doctor (phlebologist) for help to prevent serious consequences.
Veins in your legs are inflamed – does your calf and foot hurt? You need to urgently contact a specialist. He will find out the cause and begin treatment with the underlying disease. While the examination is underway, the situation is not getting any better; the veins in the legs hurt badly: what to do in this situation? Most likely, the doctor will recommend topical products (ointments and gels).
After receiving the test results, anticoagulants and anti-inflammatory drugs are usually prescribed. Non-drug methods and not entirely traditional ones, for example, hirudotherapy, can be prescribed.
If the veins in your legs hurt: how to treat them without medications? At a certain stage of venous disease, when pain in the veins appears, it is impossible to do without medications completely. For example, medications recommended for venous diseases include the following:
But you can also use physical therapy methods, such as darsonval, pulsed magnetic therapy and laser therapy. Combinations of these procedures or other methods may be suggested at the discretion of the physician.
Surgical methods are used if other solutions were not effective or the process was too advanced. Typically this is:
In order not to go to extreme measures when your legs hurt: veins - what to do to start treatment in a timely manner. Visit a doctor, take blood tests, if you need to do an ultrasound scan. But, first of all, pay close attention to your body, do not poison it with indigestible food and exercise it in moderation.
Most often, pain in the joints, calf muscles and legs is caused by the presence of inflammatory diseases of the veins. This category includes thrombophlebitis and phlebitis. The development of varicose veins, which is accompanied by pronounced dilation of the veins, is a typical symptom of these diseases.
Varicose veins often appear on the legs in people who, due to their profession, have to walk a lot or stand a lot. This condition is accompanied by swelling, severe pain, and dysfunction. The patient feels heaviness in his legs, preventing him from sleeping peacefully at night. It is worth noting that such symptoms most often appear in women - this is due to individual predisposition, a certain type of vein structure, and pregnancy.
If the first sign a patient notices is that a vein in the leg hurts, then most likely a thrombosis of the vessel has occurred. The outflow of blood is disrupted and because of this, a large amount of it remains in the veins, promoting stretching and expansion of the vessel wall. There are two networks of the venous system of the lower extremities: the deep venous network and the superficial. The deep vein system carries most of the blood, and the superficial veins take part in draining blood away from the skin.
Pain in the veins in the legs during thrombosis is observed due to compression of tissue by a stretched vessel. The patient feels a dull pain and there is a feeling that the veins in the legs are being “pulled.” People with enlarged veins in their legs usually get tired quickly. When standing or walking for a long time, they feel pain in the veins, tension and numbness in the legs, and in some cases, their feet become swollen. On the legs, due to circulatory disorders, ulcers often form, which are quite difficult to treat.
Pain in the veins can also provoke thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins. This disease is an inflammation of the vein wall, along with which a blood clot forms in its lumen. Any superficial vein can be affected. The main complaint in this case is pain in the veins.
Deep vein thrombosis in many cases can remain unrecognized and be asymptomatic. This disease is observed in more than half of patients who are bedridden for a long time and in the same number of patients with paraplegia. Deep vein thrombosis has classic symptoms: increased temperature of the limb, pain on palpation, swelling, dilatation of the superficial veins, pain in the veins. Homans' sign (pain in the calf muscle that begins when the foot is dorsiflexed) is nonspecific.
Clinical signs of the disease are characterized by their unreliability: objective studies in half of patients with the classic picture of thrombosis do not confirm the diagnosis. There are also opposite cases: proven thrombosis in half of the cases can be asymptomatic.

Disturbances in the functioning of the veins in the legs can also be provoked by other reasons - prolonged sitting, uncomfortable sitting posture, lifting and carrying heavy objects, hormonal disorders, excess weight, uncomfortable shoes. People who are tall are more prone to varicose veins. Also at risk are young mothers and women during pregnancy. It was during pregnancy that many people began to experience varicose veins.
Even if you wear special compressor stockings all the time, there is still a possibility that the situation will worsen after childbirth. There are certain symptoms that you should pay attention to: pain and swelling in the legs (especially in the afternoon), itching along the veins, night cramps, a feeling of heaviness in the legs, “manifestation” of spider veins and veins in the legs (with advanced cases - the appearance of trophic ulcers and nodes). If you feel constant heaviness in your legs, pain in the veins in your legs for several days, or swelling of your feet and legs, tingling and burning in your muscles, you should immediately consult a doctor.
Varicose veins will not go away without special treatment measures prescribed by a competent doctor. However, there are certain ways to minimize discomfort and relieve pain. You should avoid standing motionless for long periods of time in one place. In the affected vessels, without physical activity, blood stagnates and pressure increases. You need to change your body position and move regularly. It is also worth wearing special therapeutic socks or tights.
If you need to sit for a long time, then to maintain blood flow, it is worth bending and unbending your legs at the ankle joint. It is better to take a bath in the evenings. But the first action, naturally, should be to see a doctor. Only he can prescribe the necessary course of treatment.
A similar disease occurs in people who move a lot or stand at work. Symptoms occur: pain, swelling, legs become heavy. A person cannot sleep peacefully. In women, veins become inflamed more often - men and women have different venous structures.
If a vein in your leg hurts, a blood clot may have formed in the vessel. The blood does not flow intensively and accumulates in one place. Due to an excess of blood, the walls of blood vessels are stretched. A vein swells in the leg, causing nagging pain. The result is sad: the formation of thrombophlebitis in the veins located on the surface.
When a blood clot appears in a vein, the pain becomes nagging. People with dilated veins in their legs tend to get tired quickly. A long walk or standing will cause pain in the vein, the limbs will become numb and tense. Swelling of the feet occurs. Due to poor circulation, ulcers occur on the lower legs, which are difficult to get rid of. Veins located close to the surface are susceptible to diseases. The patient complains of severe pain in the veins.
If thrombosis occurs in veins located in the deep layer, it is difficult to guess the presence of the disease; there are no obvious signs. The disease occurs in people with paralyzed legs and bedridden people.
The functioning of the veins is also disrupted for other reasons. Highlight:
Tall people are prone to varicose veins. Young mothers and pregnant women often experience varicose veins.
If a woman wears compression stockings, the situation may worsen after the baby is born. Symptoms that you should pay close attention to:
To avoid triggering the disease, monitor your own feelings. Symptoms requiring attention:
If you have symptoms, take the time to carefully examine your feet.
The inspection starts from the bottom. Examine your toe joints. Pay attention to the sensitivity of the foot, whether there is a protruding vein. Examine your heels, nails, and skin between your toes.
Examine the ankle, determine joint mobility and swelling. If there is a trace of elastic left from socks, this indicates a circulatory problem.
Work on your shins. Here you can see the swelling of the vein. Examine the knee, identify inflammation and bumps. For overweight people, examine the hip area.
Carry out a test: exercise all day, do an examination in the evening. If inflammation of the veins is detected, visit a doctor. It is recommended to do such inspections several times a year.
If changes are identified during the inspection or test, conduct an analysis of the day. At the same time, this is a reason to give up bad habits.
You will not be able to get rid of varicose veins without using treatment. There are ways to reduce discomfort and relieve pain.
Standing still less. When the vessels are damaged, blood stagnates while immobile, and pressure increases. Change your position, move more. Buy special tights and knee socks. Change your shoes to comfortable ones, wear socks without tight elastic.
When sitting or walking for a long time, periodically bend and unbend your limbs at the ankle. This way blood flow is maintained at the proper level. Recommended exercises:
Take a bath in the evening.
Use specialized creams and gels that have relaxing, analgesic, and strengthening effects. If there is redness or inflammation, use a blood thinning gel that relieves tension. If the pain does not go away after using these methods, visit your doctor to prescribe the necessary treatment.
For prevention purposes, it is recommended:
Veins are treated as a whole. First of all, the cause of the pain in the vein is eliminated. Inflammation leads to vasodilation. Improve blood circulation using heparin ointment, Lyoton gel.
The infection is treated with antibiotics. If it is impossible to restore normal blood flow, surgical intervention is required.
During treatment, vascular tone is raised with drugs, using desmopressin if there is a hereditary predisposition to varicose veins.
A popular procedure is sclerotherapy. A needle is inserted into the swollen vein, eliminating the problem. The duration of the procedure is short, the results are positive. At the end of the procedure, a special stocking is put on the limb, which is not removed for a day. If the procedure is done as needed, the vein will disappear after 1.5 months.
Laser therapy is used for inflammation of small vessels. To completely get rid of the problem, you will need two or more procedures.
Treatment of large veins, their removal, is possible through surgery.
Pain in the veins is also treated with the help of folk recipes that reduce burning and pain.
Apple cider vinegar lotions: Place a gauze bandage soaked in vinegar on painful areas twice a day. Place your feet on a pillow.
Take aspirin daily to thin your blood.
Make a mixture of a tablespoon of warm water, a teaspoon of red pepper. Take the drug three times throughout the day.
They are treated with mixtures of medicinal plants.
Don't forget about gymnastics:
Repeat exercises 20 times.
Solve problems on time. In this case, the disease will not worsen and the treatment will be effective.
The vein on the ring finger hurts for several days, but the appearance has not changed.

Pain in the fingers is a common symptom of various diseases of the extremities. And if you can differentiate pain in a vein from pain in muscles or bones, then it is best for you to consult a phlebologist with this problem. Now we can only consider the main reasons why pain in the veins of the fingers may occur.
Locally, phlebitis on the hands rarely occurs. However, such a possibility still exists. Phlebitis is called inflammation of the venous wall. There are many reasons for its occurrence. So, the finger could be injured, for example, crushed by a bag or bag, pierced with a needle, immobilized for a long time during sleep, etc. In this case, people experience pain, tingling and even swelling. People say: “The vein is inflated.” Although phlebitis can be uncomfortable, the condition usually resolves quickly. Sometimes it is enough to simply apply dry heat to the painful area.
It’s another matter if a small blood clot forms at the site of the injured vein. Then we can talk about local thrombophlebitis of the digital vein. A small lump may be felt at the site of the blood clot, and the person may feel characteristic tingling and twitching. The clot irritates the walls of a thin blood vessel, which causes pain. As a rule, such local thrombophlebitis is treated with heparin-containing ointments and dry heat.
In general, varicose veins on the hands and fingers at the initial stage almost do not manifest themselves, but over time, when the deformed vessels thicken, people notice swelling of the veins, a feeling of heaviness and tingling pain. Most often, by this time the affected veins make themselves felt. They appear swollen and clearly protrude under the skin. If we are talking about varicose veins, then this condition requires a mandatory examination by a phlebologist with subsequent examination of the vessels in the hands.
Finger pain may be a symptom not of a vascular disease, but of a joint disease, such as arthritis. In the fingers, the tissues are closely adjacent to the bones, so it can be quite difficult to distinguish one from the other, especially at the initial stage, when the disease is just beginning to manifest itself.
Thus, pain in the fingers can also be associated with diseases of the spine. With osteochondrosis of the cervical and thoracic spine, pulsating pain in the extremities (including fingers), numbness, and tingling may occur, and the location of the pain in the finger depends on where the nerve endings in the spinal region are compressed.
In this situation, it is difficult to say what could have influenced the appearance of pain in the ring finger. The problem may resolve itself within a few days. If symptoms worsen, i.e. If the appearance of the skin changes (darkening, blueness), swelling of the finger, swelling of the vein, loss of sensitivity at the site of pain or pain in other fingers, you should immediately contact a vascular surgeon or phlebologist.
