Varicose veins themselves are not painful but the pain is actually due to chronic venous insufficiency where the venous wall and/or valves in the leg veins are not working effectively, making it difficult for blood to return to the heart from the legs. This causes blood to “pool” or collect in these veins, and this pooling is called stasis which is the reason behind the pain.
That’s why some people who don’t have varicose veins and their legs appear normal may report pain and discomfort so they have to be examined by vein specialists because this may be a sign of underlying venous reflux.
Some patients only notice the visible varicose veins on their legs and don’t pay enough attention to the non visible symptoms which may affect their daily routine later and they may contribute their symptoms to other reasons !

Varicose veins actually cause a lot of symptoms and complications , patients always complain of different types of pain and discomfort that the patients sometimes fail to describe accurately and we are going to describe all types of pain that the patients may complain of.
