This is a visual indicator that you may have vein disease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Varicose veins are bulging veins, often bluish or purple in color.

You have deep veins and superficial veins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deep veins are in the deeper part of the leg where the muscles are, and superficial veins are right under the skin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a normal person, the blood would circulate from the feet towards the heart in both sets of veins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When someone has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veinvascular.com\/blog\/can-exercise-help-venous-insufficiency\/\">venous insufficiency<\/a> the blood will actually go up the deep veins and then go backwards into the superficial vein.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The blood will start pooling in the superficial veins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the superficial veins are closest to the skin, they will start to bulge and create <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veinvascular.com\/blog\/home-remedies-for-varicose-vein-care\/\">varicose veins<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To spot this disease a vein specialist will perform an ultrasound of your legs examining the flow of your blood and the diameter of your vein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Please Note:<\/strong> We often see patients who have had inadequate ultrasounds performed by other medical offices &amp; specialists. This is because examining blood flow in your legs requires specialized training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are experiencing these unwanted symptoms and have had an ultrasound before we highly recommend you seek a second opinion if the issues have not been resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sign_2_Legs_Feel_Like_Youre_Dragging_Cinder_Blocks\"><\/span>Sign #2 Legs Feel Like You\u2019re Dragging Cinder Blocks&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.veinvascular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/leg-pain_compressed.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.veinvascular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/leg-pain_compressed.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.veinvascular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/leg-pain_compressed-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.veinvascular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/leg-pain_compressed-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.veinvascular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/leg-pain_compressed-600x400.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not uncommon for your leg to feel tired and sore after a long day of activity or a strenuous workout.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s NOT normal is feeling frequently fatigued after light activity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Picture this:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming back from a trip to the supermarket, and feeling like you just walked through miles of snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s going on here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Venous insufficiency goes much deeper than just the surface of the skin. It\u2019s a plumbing problem that can stop you in your tracks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your legs suffer from a circulatory problem, blood begins to pool in your legs.
