Needing to rest your weary legs in the evening could be a sign of vein weakness*...
After a long day on your feet do your legs feel heavy, tingly or painful? Do you suffer from swollen ankles? Common leg issues such as these, and raised veins on legs, can be signs of vein weak/ness which, if untreated, can progress into more serious problems.
What are the symptoms of vein weakness?
The early signs of vein weakness may include spider veins. These are fine, reddish-blue lines which emerge beneath the skin. Over time varicose veins (swollen, bulbus veins) and eczema (dry skin) may also form as a result
of vein weakness.
What causes it?
Vein weakness is often hereditary, but a lack of exercise, smoking and being overweight will also increase your risk. Your occupation or activities involving long periods of sitting or standing can also lead to a vein weakness.
What can I do?
Luckily there are lots of things you can do to take care of your legs, such as:
• Regularly checking your legs and feet (e.g. skin colour, dryness or swollen veins)
• Eating a balanced diet
• Avoiding smoking
• Exercising regularly
• Wearing compression socks or tights
What are the benefits of wearing compression socks?
