What conditions cause leg pain and

swelling?

While leg pain and swelling after a long day on your feet or strenuous activity at the gym are common, persistent symptoms could indicate vascular problems like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or chronic venous insufficiency.
In these conditions, blood can become trapped and pool in weakened areas of your veins. Veins aren’t designed to hold fluids in one place, so when pooling occurs, blood and other fluids may leak into surrounding muscles and tissue.
This excess fluid can cause swelling, irritate your muscles, and lead to cramping, pain, itching, burning, or a heavy, tired sensation. You might also notice your lower leg skin becoming thickened, leathery, or taking on a pale blue or reddish hue.

When should I talk to a doctor about leg pain and

swelling?

While issues like infections or arthritis can also cause these symptoms, if your pain and swelling persist, disturb your sleep, or worsen over time, it’s important to seek medical evaluation. At Advanced Vascular, we can determine the cause of your symptoms and help you find effective treatment.

How is the cause of leg pain and swelling

diagnosed?

We conduct comprehensive exams to identify the source of your symptoms. Our team examines your legs for visible signs of vein disease, such as changes in skin texture, color, or temperature, and reviews your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle for potential warning signs of other health issues.
Vascular ultrasounds are also used to evaluate your veins for blood clots, blockages, or other problems that could be contributing to your discomfort.

What treatments are available for leg pain and

swelling?

Once the diagnosis is made, we create personalized treatment plans to relieve your symptoms and treat the root cause. Depending on your condition, treatment options may include:

  • Compression stockings

  • Lifestyle changes

  • Sclerotherapy

  • Radio Frequency Leg Ablation

  • VenaSeal™ Closure System

If you’re experiencing painful, swollen legs and suspect vein issues, contact Advanced Vascular today to schedule your appointment.
