Burning legs and feet can lead to severe discomfort and even affect your usual daily routine. Besides the burning or aching, you might feel a pins and needles sensation in your leg that comes and goes. Solutions such as stretching, getting up to walk or massaging it for relief may help temporarily but may not get to the root of the problem.
United Vein & Vascular Centers can help ease the discomfort of burning or aching legs with our comprehensive treatments.
What Causes Leg Burning and Aching?
Our veins and arteries take a lot of strain daily, working hard to keep us mobile while bearing our weight. They are vital in carrying oxygenated blood to and from the organs and heart. We should exercise caution when experiencing unusual burning, aches or limb pains.
Various vein diseases could be causing a heat sensation in your legs, which we will explore below.
Vein Diseases
Vein diseases come in several forms. The most common conditions include:
- Varicose veins: Blood collects in pools instead of traveling up, causing the veins to swell, spread and darken.
- Spider veins: Spider veins occur when blood flows back down instead of up, causing pain, itching, burning and aching.
- Deep vein thrombosis: A blood clot forms in the deeper leg veins, potentially risking a pulmonary embolism if it travels to the lungs or heart.
Besides a burning feeling in your leg, you may experience these additional common symptoms associated with vein diseases:
- Ulcers
- Itching
- Lymphedema
- Discoloration
- Leg pain and swelling
Let United Vein & Vascular Centers Treat Your Leg-Burning and Aching Problem
Fortunately, there are treatment options for vein diseases that will help alleviate the symptoms. Most are nonsurgical and minimally invasive, depending on their intended use. These procedures include:
- Radiofrequency ablation: This treatment strips varicose veins using radiofrequency energy.
- Varithena: Microfoam is injected into varicose veins to promote blood flow.
- Venaseal: The diseased vein is sealed by an incision to improve blood flow.
- Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy: Ultrasound treatment is used to locate and inject a sclerosant solution into diseased veins to reduce their appearance.
- Phlebectomy: This treatment can improve the leg’s cosmetic appearance by removing bulging varicose veins.
