What Causes Burning Sensation In The Leg With Varicose Veins?
I am a 30 year old woman with no health conditions but that of ADHD. I have been taking Adderall 30 mg for about 2 months now, but have been on adderall for 6 months. I sit and stand at work I m a nurse. For the past year I have noticed a heavy, burning and irritating sensation in my legs particurlaly in my left leg. I have noticed some spider veins and one vericose vein on my left leg which seems to hurt a lot. But theres this swelling sensation that I get throughout the day and I feel it so much that I find myself taking my shoes off throughout the day. Can someone tell me if this can be linked to the adderall or ADHD medication Vyvanse ( the vyvanse was the fisrt med prescribed when diagnosed with ADHD in August of 2010).

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to varicose veins. I suggest using compression stockings and maintain the legs elevated. I also suggest regular exercise and a healthy diet. If the symptoms continue, another possible treatment is sclerotherapy. You should consult your gp about this treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
