I've got one unsightly bobbly vein on the back of my right calf and knee and lots of spider veins on both legs. GP says vv only get treated now on the NHS when ulcerated. Harrumph. For any pain I should take ibuprofen or similar. This sucks.
I'm usually on the floor kneeling, cross-legged playing with bairn and have to change position frequently because of the aching/pressure. I'd rather not have this always punctuate my fun with DS.
I've got private medical insurance through work. Has anyone taken this route and if so what treatment did you get for vv and/or spider veins (which I realise is a cosmetic concern but wonder whether can be treated in same wave)? Many thanks.
