Hello. Varicose veins of the lower extremities often cause symptoms such as pain, heaviness in the legs, leg edema, paresthesia, crawling ants, night cramps...
However, some other diseases also have symptoms. Similarities (such as lumbar degenerative disease, herniated disc ..) sometimes confuse the diagnosis, leading to ineffective treatment.
Your case is also easy to confuse with the above information. If possible, you should go to a medical facility to examine and do accurate diagnostic tests and get adequate advice.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
