Varicose veins can be more than just unsightly. They can cause pain, swelling, restless leg syndrome and tired, aching legs ? symptoms that can directly affect daily activities and quality of life. Untreated varicose veins can be dangerous because the blood that is pooling in these veins can clot. Varicose veins occur most often on the legs and feet. They are usually dark purple or blue in color and resemble twisted bulging cords that are often elevated on the skin. Many people with these veins experience no pain. Those who do have pain may feel an achy heavy feeling.
