Symptom check

Is it your veins? A two-minute symptom check

Six questions. If you answer yes to two or more, a venous ultrasound in our office will likely find the reason, and it is usually covered by insurance. This is not a diagnosis; it is a reason to get one.

Your legs

  • Do your legs feel heavy, tired, or achy by the end of the day?
  • Do your ankles or lower legs swell, especially by evening?
  • Can you see bulging, twisted, or ropey veins on your legs?

Your skin

  • Is the skin near your ankle darkening, hardening, or itchy?
  • Have you had a sore on the lower leg that took weeks to heal, or has not healed?
  • Do your legs cramp or feel restless at night?

Two or more yes answers? Call to book an ultrasound

A venous ultrasound in our office is painless, takes about 30 to 45 minutes, and the physician reviews the findings with you in the same visit. It is usually covered by insurance. Call, tell us which of these you noticed, and we will find you a time.

Why these six questions

Heaviness, swelling, visible veins, skin changes, non-healing sores, and night cramps are the six symptoms that most often trace back to venous insufficiency in patients over 50. Two or more together is a strong signal.
