Varicose veins and varicose eczema are both often accompanied by aching or heavy legs. Not everyone who has these conditions will experience aching in the legs, and patients might not need treatment if they don't. However, for those who do, the sensation can range from annoying to painful and debilitating. Aching in the legs inhibits the patient's ability to do what they want every day like going from place to place, standing up, exercising, or even relaxing when they finally get home. Medical professionals refer to tiredness in the feet and legs as tired leg syndrome. The most common cause is there is an insufficiency in the cardiovascular system. In the case of varicose veins, it's caused by the walls of the blood vessels being pushed out by immense and excessive pressure. The wider the blood vessels become, the harder it is for blood to be pumped back up to the heart. If individuals stand in one place for a long time, blood and fluid tend to pool in their calves and feet rather than moving back upward, causing heaviness and aching.
