What does varicose vein pain feel like?

My doctor explained that varicose vein pain is often described as an aching or heavy sensation in the legs, which usually worsens with prolonged standing or sitting. It can also include throbbing, burning, muscle cramping, and itching around the affected veins. Sometimes restlessness in the legs also happens. It's due to the blood pooling in the veins.

I had varicose veins, so I know exactly what you mean. It feels like a dull ache, a heavy, tired sensation in your legs, especially by evening or after standing for hours. Sometimes there's a throbbing or burning feeling, and muscle cramps. Elevating legs and wearing compression stockings helped me a lot, along with the doctor's treatment.
