Which also means that there are probably lots ot things we can do to improve them. Let's take first the case of tired, achy, swollen legs. If symptoms like these occur toward the end of the day and are gone after a good nights rest, they are probably nothing to worry about. If you are worried or the symptoms have occurred suddenly then consult your doctor immediately. To help us understand, think of the main veins that drain the legs like columns of fluid, with built in valves. If the back pressure becomes too great the circulatory fluids diffuse into the tissues and cause swelling, tingling, aching and general discomfort. We know that there is a decline in circulation with age especially in the legs. We often compound this by unknowingly doing things that aggravate the problem.
