A member asked:

I am getting a kind of pricking pain in the left , starting from the hips till the legs.i could also see some spider veins.what could be the cause?

Two different issues: The spider veins and pain may be unrelated or they may be indicative of underlying varicose veins. However your pain sounds more suggestive of nerve compression.

No relation: Spider veins are not the usual cause of the pains you describe.
