Often there are either no or minimal symptoms associated with the condition. However, especially with advancing or long-standing varicose veins, the symptoms may include:

• A heavy feeling in your legs, relieved by elevating the legs
• Throbbing discomfort, muscle cramps and swelling in your lower legs
• Prolonged sitting or standing tends to make the symptoms worse.
• Itching associated with one of veins.
• Skin ulcers near your ankle, indicating a severe form of the condition and requiring immediate attention.
