North Central U.S. Weather Reports. Warmth poised to bust loose in midwestern, eastern US by next week Weather News - April 06, 2017, 10:14:22 AM EDT People who have had enough of the wintry episodes since March will finally get a break as warmth is poised to bust loose in the midwestern and eastern United States.
For most people, it is a cosmetic issue, but for some people varicose veins may cause pain. In some cases serious complications, such as phlebitis (inflammation of the veins), skin ulcers, and blood clots, can happen. Veins move blood from your body to your heart. When the one-way valves in your veins get weak, they may allow blood to flow backward and pool in your veins. That causes your veins to get bigger. Varicose veins usually show up in the legs and feet, because standing and walking increases the pressure on these veins.
Drinking plenty of fluids and doing regular stretching exercises can help. Other possible causes of pain in the calf do include blood clots. While blood clots in the deep veins of the leg can cause pain the leg, it is not the usual presentation. Most of them do not have symptoms. Blood clots in the deep veins are treated with blood thinners. Those that do often cause swelling of the leg that can be painful. A dull ache can also happen when there is inflammation or a blood clot in a more superficial vein. These types of clots are less dangerous, but actually can be more painful.
