Hi
I am 34 with 3 ds's 6, 3 and 11months, I have always had rubbish veins but after birth of DS3 they are awful my one leg is covered in bulges at top and now spreading to calf which is going to be hard to wear skirts in the summer .
I have seen a consultant and he has done an ultra scan and says I can have them removed surgically or by injecting them and applying pressure as a day patient and then keeping them under pressure, sorry i don;t know what its called, anyway I was just wondering if anyone had gone through the injection option?? did it work, did the leg go flat afterwards, did you get any scaring and more importantly the recovery time scale??
I am in a lot of pain at the moment so any advice appreciated as becoming a real issue, I am about stone too heavy at the moment which I am working on and hav joined a gym to try and improve my fittness level, but to be honest not sure if with the boys little now is the best time to go through any operation.
Many Thanks for reading
xx
