Your legs do much more than carry you from place to place—they can also tell surprising stories about your overall health. From the way they look to how they feel, certain changes in your legs can act as early warning signs of health problems that shouldn’t be ignored.
1. Swelling in the Legs and Ankles
Mild swelling after a long day can be normal, but persistent swelling may indicate heart, kidney, or circulation problems. It could also point to fluid retention or high blood pressure.
2. Varicose Veins
Those twisted, bulging veins are often caused by poor circulation. While they’re common and sometimes just a cosmetic concern, they may also increase the risk of blood clots if left untreated.
