Abstract
Venous diseases and lower limb pain are common problems in physiatry clinics. Because of having different treatment modalities, it is necessary to distinguish whether they are associated or not. Learning more about venous diseases is crucial for physiatrists, so we tried to review the literature for overview our knowledge. A PubMed search was performed for studies relating to venous diseases and lower limb pain from 2005 to 2015. Publications were retrieved by using search terms for venous diseases and lower limb pain. Relevant references from these studies were also retrieved. No filters were applied to limit the retrieval by study type. Patients with lower limb pain should be asked for symptoms of venous diseases which may include burning, tingling, muscle cramp, swelling, sensation of heaviness, itching skin, restless leg, leg tiredness and fatigue, as well as pain. Because venous diseases are frequently the cause of pain, discomfort, loss of working days, deterioration of health-related quality of life and disability. As physiatrists, we should know the nature of venous diseases. At least, we should gain adequacy to diagnose lower limb pain related to venous diseases for referring cardiovascular surgery clinics. Physiatrists should provide complementary treatment modalities to reduce edema and pain, and to improve joint mobility and muscle strength in patients with venous diseases.
