Heavy legs can indicate that they are subject to heavy loads. After a long period of sitting or standing, you might prefer to put your feet up and rest your legs in the evening. Your legs can also feel heavy after long journeys. Heavy legs and aching in the evenings can mean that the blood is pooling in the legs and not getting back up to the heart efficiently.  This is known as venous reflux disease, the underlying cause of varicose veins.  This condition is common and easily treated in our office setting.
