If you experience increasing leg pain, a feeling of heaviness, restlessness, muscle cramps, swelling towards evening or if you have dry skin on your legs, dark discoloration around your ankles , you may have chronic venous insufficiency, commonly known as internal varicose veins.
If you have these symptoms, I recommend getting an examination and a Doppler Ultrasound evaluation as soon as possible.
Untreated internal varicose veins can worsen your symptoms and increase the number of varicose veins. Additionally, venous ulcers and blood clots in the veins may develop.
