This is a neurological disease that causes an impulse to extend one’s legs. It usually gets worse at night and can be upsetting. It is common to describe feeling different sensations such as burning, aching, cramping, pulsing, and swelling in the legs. 10% of people will at some point in their lives experience this ailment, which is more common in women.
Most of the time, restless leg syndrome has no apparent reason. Pregnancy, however, and nerve function are frequently linked.
Many of the symptoms that individuals with varicose veins feel are also present in those with restless leg syndrome. Consequently, it is crucial to examine the patient’s leg veins during the initial evaluation. We can use endovenous laser ablation as a treatment if weak veins are discovered. Here, a duplex ultrasound will be used to see whether there are any venous problems.
If you are suffering from a bout of restless legs syndrome, you could benefit from doing these steps:
Massaging the legs. Leg massages can improve blood flow, reduce pain, and promote movement.
A hot or cold shower in the evening. Showering before bed opens the veins in the body, which may facilitate a more restful sleep.
Physical activities including stretching, walking, and tai chi or yoga. Exercise is obviously beneficial to your health, and these easy-to-use yet very efficient procedures make sure that your veins are functioning optimally.
At the Vein and Foot Clinic, we offer an early detection service for the potential risk of developing thread veins, varicose veins, pelvic varicose veins, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
