I don't know your history from that short blurb, but it can be a number of things, including possible vascular problems. If you are having pain at rest, it could be rather serious. Do you hang your leg off the bed at night to relieve the pain? Don't wait, make an appointment.

Vericose veins are a result of your symptoms.  In my opinion it would be hard to find an insurance company that would pay for their removal because it is mainly cosmetic.  You should have your syptoms checked out by a doctor.  I have read many things about having tired and heavy legs and it can in a lot of cases be something pretty serious.  Before you worry about the vein problem please get the symptoms checked out to rule out something potentially hazardous.  Once you have cleared that check up then ask your doctor if he or she has any recommendations for taking care of the veins.  They may be able to refer you to someone.

When I was younger my legs hurt really bad and I hated any noise when I was in bed. You might have pressure on your lower spine and you need to see a physiotherapist like a friend of mine or like me you should see a doctor to discuss depression.Once I started to take meds my legs never bothered me since unless if I've been off of them for a while and I'm tired then that's when they hurt real bad.\nTry ear plugs and one of those night visors(that go over your eyes) or what ever it's called to keep some of the lights out .You never mentioned about energy levels during the day if you always seem tired then you might have serious problems.What it is that you may be laking in your serotonin levels that controls every thing from sleep to motivation to even happiness.\nWater intake or eating properly is not the problem what your doing is what any person who knows something is wrong but can't put there  finger on it  is doing and that is why AM I like this and how do I snap out of this.\nPhantom pain and sleep is two of the sure signs your suffering and I know how much you are suffering.So don't be embarrassed about going to a doctor and talking about this I was embarrassed but relieved when he explained every thing to me and gave me a script of Prozac. I really hope i'm wrong but if I'm right then your going to have a long road of recovery ahead of you but maybe your like my friend that I mentioned and it's only your spine causing pressure on a nerve cuasing you to have sore legs.

You could be getting an infection from a bug bite or scratch- if the redness or swelling starts to travel up your leg go to the ER.  If not, you can probably wait until tomorrow- then call your doctor in the morning- tell his nurse what is going on and go from there.  He may just call in an antibiotic cream to the pharmacy for you to pick up or he may want to see you.\n\nI did not read your question right when I answered a minute ago-- if you cannot move your ankle and it is red, warm and swollen, you need to go to the urgent care or er now- you may have a septic joint... better to get it checked out- sorry.\n\nIf the redness and swelling is around the bite only- that is normal- it is just the body's natural reaction... put some triple antibiotic ointment on it- thanks for clarifying.

Fibromyalgia is a commonly encountered disorder characterized by chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain, stiffness, paresthesia, disturbed sleep, and easy fatigability along with multiple painful tender points.\n\nSymptoms are generalized musculoskeletal aching and stiffness and fatigue. Patients may complain of low back pain, which may radiate into the buttocks and legs. Others complain of pain and tightness in the neck and across the upper posterior shoulders. Patients complain of muscle pain after even mild exertion and some degree of pain is always present. The pain has been described as a burning or gnawing pain or as soreness, stiffness, or aching. Pain may begin in one region, such as the shoulders, neck, or lower back before it eventually becomes widespread. Patients may complain of joint pain and perceive that their joints are swollen; however, joint examination yields normal findings. Stiffness is usually present on arising in the morning; usually it improves during the day, but in some patients it lasts all day. Patients may complain of numbness of their hands and feet. They may also feel colder overall than others in the home, and some may experience Raynaud's-like phenomena or actual Raynaud's phenomenon. Patients complain of feeling fatigued and exhausted and wake up tired. They also awaken frequently at night and have trouble falling back to sleep. Patients may experience cognitive impairment with difficulty thinking and loss of short-term memory. Headaches, including migraine type, are also common symptons. Others experience episodes of light-headedness, dizziness, anxiety, or depression. Symptoms are made worse by stress or anxiety, cold, damp weather, and overexertion. Patients often feel better during warmer weather and vacations.

Go to the doctor.  It could be any number of things and no one here cand diagnosis it.  Sounds like a nerve problem (NOT poor circulation IMHO) that may be associated with diabetis, lupus, or some other serious health condition.  PLEASE go see a doctor!

Crystal, get to a doctor as soon as possible.  This sounds like it could be the start of nerve damage in your foot.  We diabetics have to be on the lookout for numbness or tingling in the extremities---they can be signs of problems with our sugar levels.  Are you following a sensible diet, exercising and checking your sugar regularly?  Let me know, if you would, how the doctor's visit goes---just post some details.  Good luck!

Are you diabetic? Could be cellulitis. You need to go to the doctor. An antibiotic might be needed along with the appropriate creams to put on your legs and a dressing might be warranted. Be careful with dressings sometimes they tend to hold moisture in. Are you on lasix? drainage could be increased. My advice go to the doctor......

It depends on what kind of meds you're taking. The pain in your legs is called "Restless Leg Syndrome." It's a common side effect of certain pain medications. Your doctor will have to determine if a change in medication is right for you.

VARICOSE AND SPIDER VEINS\nVaricose veins are large, raised, swollen blood vessels that twist and turn. They usually develop in the legs. \n\nSpider veins are smaller, red, purple and blue vessels that are also twisted and turning. Spider veins are easily visible and are found just under the skin. Like varicose veins, they are most often seen on the legs. \n\nWhat Causes Varicose Veins and Spider Veins? \n\nA number of factors predispose a person to varicose and spider veins. These include: \n\n\nHeredity (passed on from a parent to a child through genes) \nOccupations that involve a lot of standing, such as seen among nurses, beauticians, teachers and factory workers \nObesity \nHormonal influences during pregnancy \nThe use of birth control pills \nPost-menopausal hormonal replacement \nA history of blood clots \nConditions that cause increased pressure in the abdomen including tumors, constipation and externally worn garments like girdles \n\nOther reported causes include trauma or injury to the skin, previous venous surgery and exposure to ultraviolet rays. \n\nWho Is Affected by Varicose Veins and Spider Veins? \n\nVaricose veins and spider veins develop more often in women than in men. They increase in frequency with age. An estimated 30% to 60% of adults have varicose veins or spider veins. \n\nWhat Are the Symptoms of Varicose Veins and Spider Veins? \n\nMany patients with varicose veins complain of pain, described as an aching or cramping in the legs. Other common symptoms include tiredness, restlessness, burning, throbbing, tingling or heaviness in the legs. Pain caused by varicose veins is usually relieved by elevating the legs or by wearing support hose. \n\nIn women, symptoms may be worse during certain parts of the menstrual cycle or during pregnancy. Patients also may develop swelling, ulcers (large sores), and an increase in the pigmentation or darkening of the color of their skin, especially in the ankle region. Occasionally, varicose veins and spider veins can form a painful blood clot with inflammation of the vein called thrombophlebitis. \n\nWhat Are the Treatment Options for Varicose Veins and Spider Veins? \n\nTreatment options are many and include:\n\n\nWearing support stockings. The most conservative approach is simply to wear properly-fitting support hose, especially when the veins cause painful or uncomfortable symptoms. These stockings can generally be purchased at any surgical supply store and at some pharmacies. They come in below-the-knee, above-the-knee and pantyhose styles. \nMaking lifestyle changes. Good skin hygiene, weight loss (if needed), and walking can help treat varicose veins and spider veins. \nSclerotherapy. This procedure, which has been available since the 1930s, uses a highly concentrated saline (salt) solution or a specially made detergent that is injected directly into the vein, causing the vein to disappear gradually over 3 to 6 weeks. The procedure is simple, relatively inexpensive and can be performed in an outpatient setting. \nEndovenous laser treatment. A small laser fiber is inserted into the vein so that pulses of laser light can be delivered inside the vein, which causes the vein to collapse. The procedure is done as an outpatient under local anesthesia. \nRadiofrequency occlusion. During this procedure, a small catheter is inserted into the vein to deliver radiofrequency energy to the vein wall, causing it to heat, collapse and seal shut. The procedure is generally done in an outpatient or in-office setting and may be done under local anesthesia. \nSurgery. Surgical techniques to treat varicose veins include ligation (tying off of a vein) and stripping (removal of a long segment of vein) and ambulatory phlebectomy, which allows for the removal of large surface veins through very small incisions that do not need stitches. Surgery may be performed using local, spinal or general anesthesia. Most patients return home the same day as the procedure. Surgery is generally used

Burning pain is almost always neurological. Do you have diabetes? If yes, it could be neuropathy. Does you left foot hurt worse than your right? You could have two separate things going on, that are unrelated. The hip and leg pain could be arthritis, sciatica, low back nerve impingement, or any number of problems. See another doctor. If the ones you have seen have not given you any kind of diagnosis, then keep looking until you find you who will get to the bottom of your problem, or if you really trust one of the doctors you have already seen, then go back to him. Tell the doctor what's going on and that you want tests to find out what's causing this problem, and if he can do the tests, you want a referral to a specialist. Good luck.
