This could be the result of varicose veins or spider veins, which are abnormal veins. Normally, veins are equipped with valves that allow the blood to migrate up from the legs and into the heart; when these valves don't function properly or are absent, these veins dilate (enlarge) and become tortuous, and blood pools in them, or it might escape into nearby healthier veins (called collateral veins).
Symptoms of varicose veins and spider veins include leg pain, fatigue, burning sensation, heaviness, pain at night, sometimes cramps. It has a hereditary factor and is exacerbated by long hours of standing up.
Initial management consists of moving around and alternating between sitting and standing, plus wearing special socks. At night, leg elevation and massage are helpful.
If the pain does not improve, you are advised to consult a vascular surgeon - usually a duplex ultrasound (this kind of ultrasound looks at the blood flow through the veins to detect the extent of the disease) and decide whether laser stripping (burning those veins with laser so that they close and blood runs through the healthy veins) is needed.
