When I bend my leg at the knee I get a pulse in the leg muscle in my thigh on the front. When I straighten my leg it goes away. I am developing varicose veins in my leg, also I have experienced feelings that my leg is heavy,tired and weak.

    Hi,
    As you stated in your question, two things are quite possible, auscultation over the artery (remember NAVL)- Nerve, Artery, Vein and Lymphatics order from lateral to medial- should reveal any bruits. A Doppler would be ideal and should catch it since it happens ever 60 or so seconds. Fasciculation from nerve conduction imbalances can feel vascular as well. If the vascular component is ruled out, easy enough, then it is neurological. If it is, there are many noninvasive remedies that help abate further episodes. Have a clinician auscultate the area to listen if it is vascular first, then peruse a neurological etiology.

    Good Luck!
