Stitches in the legs: common causes

To obtain an accurate and adequate diagnosis that allows us to know exactly the cause of the stitches in the legs , as this type of stitches is also known in Ecuador, it is essential to see a doctor. The possible causes of this condition are diverse and varied, so a conclusion cannot be reached without a doctor reviewing the patient’s history and conducting the relevant examinations.

During the consultation it is important to inform the doctor about:

• If we suffer from any chronic disease such as diabetes, arthritis, osteoarthritis, vascular problems, migraines, etc.
• Since when do we have the pain.
• In what specific area the sting occurs and if it is in one or both legs.
• If there is a time of day when the pain gets worse or better.
• Yes, in addition to this pain, we have other symptoms.

Next, we will look at some of the possible causes of leg punctures.

Stitches in the legs may be due to varicose veins. Varicose veins occur when the veins in our legs dilate, causing the blood to remain dammed and preventing it from circulating properly, which causes a series of annoying symptoms such as:

• Stitches, pain, and itching in the affected vein.
• Veins that look noticeably swollen.
• Tingling sensation in the legs.
• Tiredness and heaviness in the area.

Pain and throbbing tend to occur especially when we spend a lot of time sitting or standing, which directly affects our circulation. Spider veins , similar to varicose veins but smaller, shallow, and flatter, can also lead to this type of discomfort.

The PVDs occur when blood does not flow from the heart to the extremities, causing various symptoms is important to respond as soon as possible, as the chopped leg. This condition usually occurs when the blood vessels become clogged and narrow, usually due to high cholesterol or high blood pressure.

Some of the symptoms of this disorder are:

• Cramps or throbbing in areas such as the thighs, calf, or hips, especially after walking or exercising.
• Burning sensation in fingers and / or toes.
• Leg healing problems.
• Presence of other possible signs such as leg weakness, color changes, or cold skin.

Performing various studies such as a Doppler ultrasound, a blood count or a coagulogram, along with other evaluations, will help determine the presence of this condition.

The causes of leg throbbing do not necessarily have to respond to circulatory problems, and this discomfort can also be due to different muscle injuries, such as:

• Overloads on a certain muscle.
• Muscle tear or overstretching that causes discomfort.
• Inflammation of the heel tendon, a condition known as tendinitis .

These discomforts can occur in people who perform frequent physical activity, but also in those who do not exercise but have made a certain physical effort, for example carrying a lot of weight or doing a cold muscle stretch, which can lead to injury.

• Muscular weakness.

This condition is very common in people with diabetes or insulin resistance , although it can also occur in patients with kidney failure, liver problems, underactive thyroid, in those who suffer from vitamin deficiencies and people with circulatory problems in the legs.
