Venous Insufficiency: Venous insufficiency can cause dull aching, heaviness, or cramping in legs. The pain tends to get worse when standing and get better when legs are raised. Swelling in legs and/or ankles occurs and sometimes there is a sensation of itching and tingling and legs. When chronic venous disease develops manifestations include dilated cutaneous veins - telangiectases, reticular veins & varicose veins.
