Good afternoon A vein in my leg is pulsating. The question arose: what does this mean? You can also find out whether this condition entails serious consequences? Thanks in advance for your answer!
To understand the question of why a vein in the leg is pulsating, you need to consider the possible causes. Similar sensations occur in the lower extremities when the nerve roots are pinched; this may be associated with the lumbar spine. You still need to be examined, then the doctor can understand whether the functioning of the blood vessels is impaired. Also, pulsation in the legs can be described as an intense throbbing pain that begins at a certain point and spreads throughout the leg.
If the limbs, in particular the calves and knees, pulsate, then a number of reasons can be identified that cause this. This may indicate problems with bones, tendons, nerves or muscles. If we consider specific cases, we can highlight the following:
In any case, if you simply have pulsation in your veins, or feel throbbing pain, you definitely need to consult a doctor. Prompt treatment can prevent serious illness.

Good day, dear doctors. About a week ago I began to feel like a blood pulse above the heel inside the foot (left leg, closer to the bone on the right). More precisely, it’s as if the blood is having difficulty making its way through the narrowed space (no fighting, just discomfort). The first thought that came to me was blockage of the vessel with a blood clot. A week later, the pulsation went away, and the deepening of the sole of the foot began to itch (it itches consistently a couple of times a day). If you massage this area with fingers, the itching goes away. What could it be? How to deal with this?

Good evening! The question is, is it possible to get rabies if you were vaccinated against it in the fall? A teenager, fourteen years old, was riding a bicycle today, the dog did not approve of this and bit him. She left a powerful imprint of her mouth on her leg, she was wearing jeans, but a little blood came out. So, I don’t really want to die, is the vaccination that was given in the fall still effective, or should I go to the hospital to get new ones? Thank you in advance
The guy and I were lying down, and he began to touch between our legs, first with his fingers, then he seemed to penetrate a little with his penis, but I stopped him. I felt pain, but that day I started menstruating and whether I was bleeding or not, I don’t know. One month has passed, I’m in pain, I’m very scared, how will they find out if I’m a virgin or not?
Hello! I am from Belarus Brest. My Father's legs and arms were swollen. And it freezes. Increased protein in the urine. Doctors don't know what it could be. They took blood for analysis, even sent it to Minsk, and they don’t know how to treat
Maybe you can tell me if there have been similar cases, although this relates to nephrolgia, but maybe suddenly. (and there are no signs that he has bad stool or anything else at all.) but his legs are swollen very much! I also drank diuretics. When I was in the hospital, they gave me IVs and only slowly on the 9th day.

Often the first signs of vegetative-vascular dystonia appear in adolescence. This is connected with psychological and physical maturation, because global hormonal changes occur in the body and at the same time a system of values is formed.
All symptoms of neurocirculatory dystonia can be combined into two large groups - psychoemotional and autonomic. The predominance and severity of specific symptoms varies from person to person.
The first symptoms of VSD may be mild excitability and rapid exhaustion. Patients with vegetative-vascular dystonia are unrestrained, irritable, can flare up without a significant reason, offend someone, and then regret it.
Over time, tearfulness, low mood, problems concentrating, poor memorization, and decreased mental and physical activity develop.
Psychoemotional disorders in NCD also include panic attacks and various phobias (obsessive fears). Among the common ones are the fear of getting cancer (cancerophobia), the fear of death (thanatophobia), and the fear of loneliness (autophobia).
Often, patients with vegetative-vascular dystonia believe that they have an incurable disease. They visit many doctors to confirm the “fatal” diagnosis; doctors find many diseases, but nothing serious or incurable.
With vegetative-vascular dystonia, autonomic disorders must be present.
Autonomic disorders can be constant (permanent) and short-term (paroxysmal, autonomic crises). Among permanent autonomic disorders, in turn, peripheral and viscero-organ disorders are distinguished.
Peripheral autonomic dysfunction is manifested by increased sweating, especially in the palms, feet, armpits, coldness of the extremities, marbling of the skin of the hands, pain in the joints and bones.
Common manifestations of peripheral autonomic disorders are Raynaud's syndrome and trophoangioneurosis.
Raynaud's syndrome is manifested by a transient disturbance of the arterial blood supply to the hands due to vasospasm. During an attack, patients feel pain, “crawling goosebumps” on the skin, numbness in the area of the hands, the skin of the hands becomes cold and pale.
When the attack passes, the skin of the hands turns red, a feeling of heat and fullness appears.
Trophoangioneurosis is a disorder of skin nutrition in the area of the legs and feet due to impaired microcirculation and vasomotor dysfunction of small vessels. With trophoangioneurosis, the skin of the feet and legs is cold, “marbled”; dryness, peeling of the skin, and pastyness of the legs may be observed. Some patients are bothered by a feeling of numbness in their legs and muscle pain.
With vegetative-vascular dystonia, vegetative crises develop very quickly, even instantly. Their occurrence can be provoked by acute conflicting psycho-emotional situations, sudden changes in weather, menstruation, alcohol excess, and excessive physical activity.
Characteristic symptoms of a vegetative-vascular (vegetative) crisis:
With vegetative-vascular dystonia, there are several types of crises:
The most common are vagoinsular and sympathoadrenal autonomic crises.
Sympathoadrenal autonomic crisis develops in the afternoon and may occur at night. Patients experience intense headache, palpitations, interruptions in heart function, and chill-like tremor. Anxiety, fear, numbness in the arms and legs, and a feeling of lack of air appear.
An objective examination during a crisis can detect arrhythmia, and there may be a slight increase in blood pressure and temperature.
Such crises end suddenly. May be accompanied by the release of large amounts of light-colored urine. After a crisis, patients feel general weakness.
During a vagoinsular crisis, patients feel a feeling of hunger, abdominal pain, dizziness, “falling into the abyss,” freezing, and interruptions in the functioning of the heart. From the gastrointestinal tract - peristalsis may increase, abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea may appear. During a vagoinsular crisis, blood pressure decreases, and bradycardia sometimes develops. After the crisis is over, general weakness remains.
During a general examination, patients may be agitated, fussy, and hand tremors may be observed. Some patients, on the contrary, seem lethargic and apathetic.
VSD is characterized by severe sweating: the palms and feet are wet, cold, sweat is intensely secreted in the armpits.
Breathing in patients with vegetative-vascular dystonia is rapid, superficial, often such patients breathe through their mouths, as a result of which they feel dry mouth.
Sometimes you can detect pulsation of the carotid arteries, but the boundaries of the heart are always normal. The pulse rate may be variable, but its performance is satisfactory.
Blood pressure is usually normal, but may slightly increase or decrease.
In 70-80% of patients, a systolic murmur can be heard in the 3rd-4th intercostal space at the left edge of the sternum.
Laboratory testing does not reveal any significant deviations.
Instrumental diagnostic methods include ECG using diagnostic tests, bicycle ergometry, echocardiography, and rheoencephalography. Instrumental research methods help confirm existing functional disorders and exclude organic pathology.
You may also need to consult an ENT specialist, neurologist, or psychotherapist.

Blisters on the soles of the feet are not as rare as they seem at first glance. Every third person has encountered this problem at least once in their life. Some do not give this symptom much importance, naively believing that everything will go away on its own, others immediately make an appointment with a doctor, because they know how difficult it is to treat advanced forms of fungal diseases. A doctor is usually consulted when watery blisters on the feet interfere with walking and begin to burst and bleed.
It’s worth reassuring us right away that blisters on the soles of your feet are not always a symptom of any disease. For your attention, all the reasons for the appearance of this disease:
Very rarely, psoriasis may appear in the form of blisters on the feet at the initial stage. As the process progresses, the skin in this area becomes rougher, transforming into a “plaque.” It can also be observed with dyshidrotic eczema, which is almost always localized on the feet and palms at the same time.
According to statistics, if the blisters on the feet are of allergic origin, they disappear within a few hours/days. In difficult cases, when the rash is aggravated by severe itching and swelling, taking antihistamines is indicated.
With scabies, it is best to seek help from a doctor, since it is not so easy to get rid of and there are many cases of relapses, both in adults and children. Most often in doctors' prescriptions for scabies you can see:

For severe itching, Suprastin or Cetrin is indicated, at the discretion of the attending physician.
Things are more complicated with hyperhidrosis of the feet, as it is very difficult to treat. The most common remedies for it:
Much attention is paid to prevention, which includes giving up bad habits (alcohol, tobacco) and special vitamin therapy.
If the cause of the blisters on the feet lies in a fungal disease, then it is necessary to take scrapings from the lesions to conduct a microscopic examination and determine the causative agent. Depending on the pathogen and the course of the disease, antifungal drugs are selected. In 70% of cases, at the initial stage, you can get by with external means. Most often these are the following drugs:
In advanced cases, fluconazole-based drugs (Diflucan, Flucostat, Fluconazole, etc.) can be added to the listed external agents.
Much attention is paid to prevention, which is equally effective against fungal infections, hyperhidrosis and scabies. Not recommended:
It is also recommended to pay great attention to the selection of shoes for those who already have problems with excessive sweating. Such people are recommended to wear only open shoes made of natural fabrics or clean leather.
Have you ever had problems with Itching and irritation ? Judging by the fact that you are reading this article, you have a lot of experience. And of course you know firsthand what it is:
Now answer the question: Are you satisfied with this? Is it possible to endure? How much money have you already wasted on ineffective treatment? That's right - it's time to end them! Do you agree?

The site provides reference information. Adequate diagnosis and treatment of the disease is possible under the supervision of a conscientious doctor.
Diagnosis of osteoporosis is carried out using radiography and computed tomography.
Over time, without treatment, disturbances in blood flow in the foot become so severe that obliterating endarteritis leads to the development of gangrene.
The plantar fascia is a plate of connective tissue that starts from the heel bone, runs along the entire plantar surface of the foot and is attached to the heads of the metatarsal bones. Fascia strengthens the foot and allows it to withstand more intense loads.
People who have congenital connective tissue weakness are most susceptible to plantar fasciitis. With this disease, there is pain on the side of the foot and in the instep. The occurrence of pain is especially typical in the morning, when a person gets out of bed and goes somewhere. During long walking, the pain also intensifies, sometimes leading to the development of lameness.
The diagnosis of a heel spur is made after an examination by an orthopedic surgeon and an x-ray. In the early stages, this disease, like fasciitis, can be treated with conservative methods. In later stages, surgical intervention is performed.
Flat feet are a common problem that leads to foot pain and other disorders. This disease is characterized by a violation of the normal shape of the foot, namely the smoothing of its arch - the inner part of the sole, which rises above the ground in the form of an arch. As a result, a person begins to rely when walking not only on the outer part of the foot, but also on the inner part. In this case, two pathological processes occur:
Flat feet and accompanying foot pain can be caused by the following reasons:
In the initial stages of flat feet, there is no pain in the foot. You may only feel very tired after a long walk. Pain syndrome then develops. Flat feet can be so severe that it leads to intense pain and the development of lameness.
Goosebumps in the legs, tingling and cold sensations in the fingers - this is a symptom that is medically called acroparesthesia. In some cases, such sensations may be accompanied by pale skin or a slight decrease in pain sensitivity. However, it is not necessary to say that these manifestations may be a separate disease. But in some cases, these symptoms may be signs of the initial development of a particular disease.
In most cases, this is a temporary sensation that goes away after some time without any treatment. Most often, this condition occurs due to tired legs, after taking a bath, or after being in one position for a long time. The main cause of such disorders is disruptions in the circulatory system or nerve irritation.
However, there are also cases when goosebumps, tingling and a feeling of coldness in the fingers are a sign of a serious illness, but only a specialist should determine this after conducting a number of tests.
If the above symptoms bother a person for a long time, then it is necessary to consult a doctor to identify the causes of goosebumps in the legs. Among the most frequently detected diseases with this symptom are:
The symptom itself can last for many years, while weakening or, conversely, intensifying from time to time. Most often, this sensation occurs at night, and if it happens during the day, it is usually due to an uncomfortable position of the legs.
Why do I get goosebumps on my legs? In some cases, the cause may be infectious or tumor processes, as well as any changes in the legs, including violations of the integrity of the skin. They can serve as signs of the development of diabetes or multiple sclerosis.
The feeling of pins and needles in the legs is sometimes accompanied by other symptoms. For example, this may be tingling in the feet or legs, but without loss of skin sensitivity. Another important sign is paleness of the skin, which indicates poor circulation.
Also, this condition is characterized by such a symptom as a slight decrease in pain sensitivity, but only a doctor can determine this using specially developed methods and tests.
Some patients may complain of quite severe pain during an attack. This happens when for some reason there is a disruption in the functioning of the nerve.
And finally, all these unpleasant sensations that occur at rest disappear almost instantly when moving, for example, when walking or doing any exercises or therapeutic exercises.
Many people believe that goosebumps on the left or right leg can go away on their own, without any treatment, and do not even suspect that such an insignificant sign can be a symptom of the onset of a rather serious disease. Therefore, if tingling sensations, burning or itching in the legs, goosebumps and the like appear with a certain frequency, then it is necessary to consult a doctor who will help make the correct diagnosis and prescribe the only correct treatment. But self-medication is unacceptable here.
First of all, you should take a blood and urine test. Then you need to undergo an ECG, or even an ultrasound of the heart. The doctor may also recommend doing a Doppler study of the blood vessels in order to understand whether there are any reasons for circulatory problems.
You may need to consult a neurologist, therapist, oncologist, neurologist and other specialists.
Treatment for crawling legs depends on the reasons that caused this condition. For example, drugs such as platiphylline, papaverine, no-spa, and halidor are often used. These medications belong to the group of vasodilators. In some cases, ganglion blockers - pachycarpine, gangleron, as well as drugs with a tranquilizing effect have a good effect.
Does your leg feel like you have goosebumps? Then the first thing you need to do is contact a neurologist. Some physiotherapeutic methods may be prescribed, as well as treatment with quinine, but simple foot baths, which it is advisable to do with herbal decoctions or with sea salt and other useful ingredients, also help to combat this symptom.
Traditional medicine methods such as rubbing the feet with olive oil mixed with black pepper, cabbage compresses, and ginger infusion tea can also help in treatment. It is very useful to include vitamin and mineral complexes in your diet, as well as seaweed, fermented milk products and natural vegetable and fruit juices.

Foot pain is familiar to almost every person. It often bothers you after significant and prolonged physical activity. Healthy people may experience pain and discomfort in their feet after standing for long periods of time. Discomfort in the feet is also caused by tissue pathology. To find out the reasons and get qualified help, it is recommended to contact a specialized foot treatment center.
Diseases that affect adults and children can be divided into a number of large groups. The classification of diseases depends on the nature of the lesion and the localization of the process.
This group includes pathologies associated with impaired blood flow and the integrity of the walls of blood vessels. As a result, trophic ulcers and necrosis or phlegmon of soft tissues can develop. Often the disease begins to bother young people. In the lower extremities, by the end of the day there is pain, metatarsalgia, hyperhidrosis and heaviness that goes away after rest. The reason is caused by excess body weight, bad habits, and physical inactivity.
The list of vascular diseases of the feet includes:
In case of chronic long-term vascular lesions, infectious factors are added - dermatophytosis of the feet and rubrophytosis develop. Chronic osteomyelitis of the leg may develop.
Any of the diseases is treated by a vascular surgeon or phlebologist. Angioprotectors, anti-inflammatory drugs, antiplatelet agents, and painkillers are prescribed.
In addition to drug therapy, wearing compression garments or an elastic bandage is prescribed. The patient is advised to perform special exercises and adhere to a diet.
If the patient develops necrosis or phlegmon of soft tissues, treatment is carried out exclusively by surgery.
Joint pathology often affects the foot area. These diseases are inflammatory or dystrophic in nature.
The inflammatory process in the joint is often accompanied by local hyperemia, burning, and increased local and general body temperature. The joint loses its normal original shape and mobility.
The cause of chronic inflammation of the joint is a viral infection, a violation of metabolic processes in the body and changes in the walls of blood vessels.
A variety of diseases develops against the background of severe metabolic disorders. The disease can be triggered by poor nutrition and foot injuries. In diseases, pain, metatarsalgia and changes in the shape of the joint appear, and its mobility is limited. An advanced form of joint disease leads to deformation of cartilage tissue and leads to habitual subluxation. Necrosis of cartilage tissue can lead to complete immobility of the joint.
The following most common joint diseases plague people at any age.
The most common foot skin diseases are calluses or corns, keratoses and hyperhidrosis. The cause of skin pathology is tight, uncomfortable shoes. Skin hyperhidrosis promotes infection. When calluses form on the surface of the skin, a compaction develops - keratosis. Dry calluses and keratoses cause pain and discomfort in the feet. A thickening develops on the skin. In some cases, peeling of the skin is possible. Treating keratosis is indicated using special ointments or creams containing keratolytic components. To treat deep calluses, special surgical methods are used - laser therapy, cryodestruction. These methods cause necrosis and sloughing of the callus tissue, followed by healing.
As an independent disease, keratosis is caused by a deficiency of vitamins or metabolic disorders in skin cells. Keratosis manifests itself as dryness and thickening of the skin. There is itching and peeling, hyperkeratosis in protruding areas.
The second common disease is a fungal infection - athlete's foot or dermatophytosis of the feet. Dermatophytosis and epidermophytosis manifest as severe itching, hyperkeratosis, redness and peeling of the toes. The causative agent of the disease is pathogenic fungi - dermatophytes.
Dermatophytosis and epidermophytosis of the legs, as well as rubrophytosis, are treated with the help of special antifungal ointments for treating the skin and preparations for oral administration. During treatment, peeling and itching of the skin decreases.
To avoid dermatophytosis, epidermophytosis or rubrophytosis, attention must be paid to adequate hygiene of the skin of the feet and shoes. You should not walk barefoot in swimming pools, saunas and public baths.
Patients often develop diseases of the muscles and ligaments of the foot and leg. The disease worries children and adults. The cause of myalgia and myositis is overwork, hypothermia, and chronic inflammatory processes in the body.
Bunions can be caused by misalignment and abnormal adduction of the joints of the big toe. It is determined by genetic reasons in children, wearing tight, uncomfortable shoes. Often the cause is injury to the joint (when adduction is performed).
Symptoms include pain and swelling of the affected joint. When sick, the finger increases in size and adduction causes pain. Correction of bursitis is carried out by surgical intervention.
The disease tendinitis is manifested by an inflammatory process in the area of the Achilles tendon. The pathological process in leg disease is caused by the impact of injury and incorrectly given physical activity during sports training. Ligamentitis or ligamentosis is a lesion of the ligamentous apparatus of the foot and lower leg. Ligamentitis and ligamentosis manifest themselves as pain in the foot, which intensifies with movement, difficulty walking, and swelling in the affected area.
Tendonitis, as well as ligamentitis and ligamentosis, are treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, a group of salicylic acid derivatives, and cold compresses. In the acute period, the patient is prescribed to ensure complete rest and immovable fixation of the joint.
The disease is accompanied by an inflammatory process of the fascia of the plantar region. Symptoms of the disease include mild pain in the sole area. It is possible to develop formations such as hygroma under the fascia on the legs.
The disease is treated with glucocorticoids. Physiotherapy is prescribed. In the acute period, the patient is given an orthopedic splint on the adducted toes.
The disease represents diffuse purulent inflammation of the soft tissues of the legs. Morphologically, phlegmon represents necrosis and melting of the soft tissues of the feet. The reasons why phlegmon develops on the legs are of microbial origin. Less common is fungal infection - dermatophytosis, epidermophytosis or rubrophytosis of the legs.
Cellulitis of the lower limb is treated surgically, followed by antibacterial and detoxification therapy.
Most often, hygroma or dropsy forms on the feet. This is a benign tumor that is localized on the joint. A small hygroma can go unnoticed for a long time. If the formation reaches a large size, it compresses the vessels and nerves of the lower limb and causes discomfort when the fingers are adducted. In general, hygroma is a benign neoplasm. Eliminated surgically.
These diseases must be treated with surgery. It is possible to alleviate the condition of the legs during illness with the help of a variety of orthopedic devices.
