Varicose veins?: You may have venous insufficiency -- your primary doctor should examine you, and make a recommendation, but you may want to start with compression stocking therapy.

Sounds like: Muscle pain, especially if it is both legs equally. Or it could be thrombophlebitis, which could cause pulmonary embolism, a potentially deadly condition. Get this one checked out. It could be medication side effect, or pinched nerve in lumbar spine.

I have been having pain in my leg for a long time. It hurts so much that it's hard to walk. It hurts while I'm resting too. There's no redness or warmth but I do have a history of blood clots. I don't want to go to the ER if it's nothing.
