Venous leg ulcer pain is chronic, persisting over time due to the wound's nature of not healing as expected. The pain associated with these ulcers, which can take longer than four to six weeks to heal, varies from sharp and throbbing to tenderness, aching, and soreness. This change in pain presentation is influenced by the cause and severity of the ulcer, as well as the individual's decision on whether to seek treatment. With appropriate treatment, however, the symptoms can often resolve after several months. The condition also presents with additional symptoms such as swelling, itching, and the production of discharge, alongside the physical appearance of the ulcer, which may include hardened or discolored skin around it.
