Varicose veins and pain

2 replies

Sorry, I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this.

I have varicose veins at the top of my legs on both sides and have done since I was about 18. They look really horrible and have lead me to have (further) body image issues but haven't caused me any physical issues up until recently. The left hand side started to really hurt about a week ago and the pain has been constant ever since. I have a fairly strong pain threshold but it's steering to wear me down as it's relentless.

Has anyone got any advice please? I'm getting desperate :(

I know this is obvious but have you booked to see your doctor? Ask them for help.

I haven't had varicose veins but have had other leg issues - does it help to elevate your legs? Do you have compression stockings?
