The veins in our legs have many "one-way" valves which allow blood to travel up toward the heart. When you stand, the valves close in order to keep the blood from traveling backwards down the leg. Sometimes, the valves become damaged and will not close properly. This allows the blood to travel backwards in the direction of gravity. This valve problem is known as venous reflux or venous insufficiency. The symptoms that occur because of the damaged valves are due to the high pressure that develops in the veins as the blood travels backward.
Over time the veins below the bad valves can become dilated and varicosed. This condition always progresses and often leads to complications such as skin damage, chronic leg swelling, blood clots, ulceration and even spontaneous bleeding.
Many people suffer from the symptoms of Venous Insufficiency and are completely unaware of the underlying problem. Symptoms vary from person to person but the following symptoms could indicate venous insufficiency and require the attention of a doctor.
- Leg aching, heaviness and tiredness that is worse at the end of the day
- Leg swelling that is worse at the end of the day
- Leg cramps at night
- Itching
- Restless legs
- Blood clots
- Eczema type skin rash on lower legs
- Leg ulcers
- Spontaneous bleeding
- Occasionally patients experience a burning or numbness in their legs

ReplyDeleteI'm 47 years old and female. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had the flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting in underdeveloped lungs. At age 34 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they started to find a solution on their own to help my condition.I am a 47 now who was diagnosed with COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but I was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of Dr Akhigbe total cure herbal medicine. My husband saw his testimony on the internet that he used his powerful medicine to cure different diseases. We contacted his email [drrealakhigbe@gmail.com} He has the right herbal formula to help you get rid and repair any lung conditions and other diseases, will cure you totally and permanently with his natural organic herbs,We received the medicine through courier delivery service. I wish anybody who starts smoking at a young age would realize what will eventually happen to their bodies if they continue that vile habit throughout their life.
