What is the difference between varicose veins and neuropathy when it comes to symptoms?

Local symptoms : Varicose veins, if they become inflamed will cause symptoms locally in your leg. Typically symptoms would be below the knee in the calf area with pain over the vein possibly with leg edema (swelling). A neuropathy involves the nerves and typically it would be in both legs involving the feet first. The symptoms might be a pins and needles sensation or numbness or a burning component in both feet .

Symptoms of veins: Varicose Veins & neuropathy can both lead to symptoms in the legs & feet. There are some similarities in the symptoms of both. Both can cause leg discomfort & numbness / tingling. Pain more likely throughout legs & feet w/ neuropathy & more likely lower legs w/ veins. Veins can have swelling & skin discoloration & neuropathy usually doesn't.
