History and Symptoms

Signs and symptoms of PTS in the leg may include:

• pain (aching or cramping)
• heaviness
• itching or tingling
• swelling (edema)
• varicose veins
• brownish or reddish skin discoloration
• ulcer

These signs and symptoms may vary among patients and over time. With PTS, these symptoms typically are worse after walking or standing for long periods of time and improve with resting or elevating the leg.
