Leg Heaviness Treatment in the Antelope Valley

What is Leg Heaviness?

Heavy legs and fatigued legs are characterized by a feeling of weight and tiredness in the legs, especially after long periods of standing or sitting. The heaviness and tiredness may also be accompanied by swelling, stiffness and achiness.

Leg Heaviness can be caused by conditions such as:

Damaged Valves
Varicose Veins
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)
Spider Veins
Lumber Spinal Stenosis

Frequently Asked Questions

The risk of developing heavy legs and fatigued legs increase with:
  • Obesity
  • Lack of exercise
  • Aging
  • Smoking
  • Pregnancy
  • Occupation requiring sitting or standing for long periods
  • Family history of vascular disease
 
Symptoms of heavy legs and fatigued legs are:
  • Swelling
  • Appearance of spider and/or varicose veins
  • Numbness
  • Stiffness, achiness, and throbbing pain
  • Leg feels cold
  • Tingling sensations

Heavy legs and fatigued legs may be caused by an underlying vascular disease, which prevents blood from properly circulating through the legs. These possible conditions include:
  • Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) – A condition in which venous pressure causes blood to pool in the legs and does not circulate back to the heart efficiently.
  • Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) – A condition in which plaque builds up in the arteries and veins and obstructs blood flow.
  • Varicose veins – A condition in which the veins become enlarged and bulge, causing blood flow problems.
 
Other causes include:
  • Restless leg syndrome
  • Smoking
  • Increased alcohol consumption
  • Overtraining and excess exercise

Living a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition and physical activity can help prevent vascular problems that cause heavy legs and fatigued legs.

If a patient is experiencing heavy legs and fatigued legs it is important to get a medical diagnosis. The doctor will take a medical history and run tests to determine the cause of discomfort. It is important to seek medical attention because heavy legs and fatigued legs can indicate a vascular condition that decreases blood flow to the legs. If left untreated, the condition can get worse or develop into a more serious condition, such as a blood clot.

What to Expect from Heavy Legs / Fatigued Legs Treatment?

With minimally invasive procedures since only a small incision is needed, there are no stitches. Patients needing treatment for heavy legs and fatigued legs will be able to go home the same day as the procedure. Also, recovery time is much shorter than traditional surgery, so daily activities can often be resumed in 24 hours.
