Varicose veins: Twitching or not, if there is aching and pain over the veins and in the leg along with ankle or leg swelling, a Duplex vein scan should be done to see if there is associated venous insufficiency. If there is, the insufficiency can be treated with laser (EVLT) or VNUS Closure and the veins with sclerotherapy or microphlebectomy. Seek an ABVLM certified vein specialist on Phlebology.org
