Itchy Twitchy Legs Driving You Nuts? It Might Be a Vein Issue
It’s normal to have an itch to scratch now and then but what if your legs were so uncomfortable all the time and nothing stopped the itch? If you have tried all the creams, lotions, potions, cool baths, sitting less, standing more, walking and nothing helps you might have a vein issue.
If this sounds familiar it is high time you go and see a Vein Specialist. This is often the description for underlying varicose veins and vein disease. While varicose and spider veins are often thought of as a cosmetic issue the truth is they are a medical issue and need to be taken care of so that it doesn’t worsen over time. You may not have any visibly damaged veins at this point.
Damaged vein areas left untreated will spread. They may, over time, also deepen, ulcerate, and can cause DVTs (Deep Vein Thrombosis) blood clots that can break loose and travel to the heart causing a heart attack, to the lungs causing a pulmonary embolism, or to the brain leading to a stroke or even death.
While it may be crazy to think that twitchy itching restless legs could signal a serious health alarm, it’s important to listen to your body.
