“My legs hurt because I’m on my feet all day.”

“It must be the heels.”

“Maybe it’s just age.”

Hold on!

Because feeling heavy legs every day is not as normal as you might think. While fatigue is common, there are important differences between physical exhaustion and the early signs of varicose veins. Often, that sensation of tiredness, burning, or pressure in the legs is your body’s way of warning you that something isn’t right.

Recognizing the difference can help you avoid complications, detect issues before they get worse, and find real solutions to feel better.

Tired Legs: Normal Fatigue

It is completely expected for your legs to feel tired if:

• You’ve walked or stood for hours:
  a busy day, shopping, long work shifts… these can cause muscle fatigue.
• You’re wearing uncomfortable shoes or high heels:
  these affect posture and make your muscles work harder.
• You’ve had a physically demanding day:
  deep cleaning, home chores, chasing your kids, or just moving more than usual.

🛌 Rest usually relieves this sensation. A good night’s sleep, elevating your legs, or getting a massage can be enough to regain energy and that light-legged feeling the next day.

Varicose Veins: When Tiredness Doesn’t Go Away

The problem starts when that tiredness doesn’t improve with rest, or appears even without much activity. Varicose veins are dilated veins that interfere with the blood returning to the heart, causing blood to pool in the legs. This leads to:

• Persistent heaviness in the legs: even when sitting or lying down.
• Burning or itching: without an external cause, like a deep heat sensation.
• Swelling at the end of the day: ankles or calves may look inflamed.
• Night cramps: sharp pain that interrupts your sleep.
• Visible veins or darkened areas: not always present at first, but a clear sign of venous insufficiency.

Many times, symptoms appear before any veins are visible. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to small, recurring discomforts.

Risk Factors:

• Standing or sitting for long periods: affects circulation. Office and retail jobs are high-risk.
• Family history of varicose veins: if your mom or grandmother had them, your risk increases.
• Pregnancy: due to increased pelvic pressure and hormonal changes.
• Obesity or overweight: extra weight puts more pressure on your veins.
• Lack of physical activity: movement helps blood flow back to the heart.
• Smoking: damages blood vessels and affects circulation.

Detecting early symptoms can make a big difference:

💪 Improve your quality of life:
fewer aches, no more nighttime cramps, and more freedom in daily activities.

✅ Access quick, safe, and painless treatments:
like sclerotherapy, which doesn’t require surgery or downtime.

⏱ Avoid future complications:
like ulcers, superficial thrombosis, or chronic pain that limits mobility.

🤝 Regain your confidence:
feel comfortable wearing shorts, skirts, or dresses again.
