Symptoms
Severe spider veins, as well as varicose veins and other vascular insufficiencies, can cause stinging, aching, or burning pain in the legs, as well as a feeling of leg tiredness or bloating. In the case of varicose veins, there is an increased risk of blood clots, arterial leakage, and other complications. In more severe venous insufficiencies, there may be overall changes in the color and texture of the skin nearby, and ulcers that do not heal on their own may result.
