View 2 RepliesLower Leg Numbness After RFA For Varicose Veins
I had RFA done a week ago. I wore the compression stocking for a week. Leg felt a little funny but thought it was due to the stocking. Had a follow up yesterday and all looked good. However, after having the stocking removed, the front of my lower left leg has a numbing feeling to it. Is that normal? There is some bruise like pain also.

I'm a 36 year old mum of 5... 8 years ago after our 4th child I needed an operation to strip varicose veins on both legs as they were problematic.. Living abroad flights are needed to visit family etc.
We went on to have our 5th child 4 years ago and over the last year they have returned twice as bad as before. They are painful and very ugly.... Starting from my ankles right up to the back of my knees. I'm a fit person, train every day and not over weight. What options do I have other than heading down the surgery route again!! It's starting to affect me as I want to not feel conscious living in a warm country and wanting to spend time with our children in swimwear and shorts.
Hip Replacement :: Varicose Veins - Coincidence?
I've never had a varicose vein in my life, and when I looked down at my legs last night, I am seeing a dozen, on both operated and non-operated leg. I don't how long they've been there (I am 4.5 weeks post op) but I know they weren't there pre surgery. Coincidence with the THR?

View 2 RepliesPregnancy :: Varicose Veins - Family History
Has anyone gotten them before? I'm preg with #6 and I think I have signs of them. I'm concerned because on my mother's side the women have them severely (to the point my sister almost lost a leg in pregnancy). I'm high risk and on adjusted bed rest so it's not from standing too long and I'm only 12w so it's not from pressure.
View 3 RepliesVaricose Veins :: An Overview And Treatment Options
Varicose veins are in some cases unavoidable. Many times, there are ways to naturally prevent and soothe them.
Get plenty of exercise to get your blood circulating, Elevate your legs on pillows daily for 10 minutes or more, Avoid excess weight gain, Dry-brush your legs daily to improve circulation. (This can prevent varicose veins from forming.) Use a natural-bristle brush with a long handle that allows you to reach all parts of your body. Gently brush your legs from the ankles up in a circular motion. Do this before you shower, so you can wash off any dead skin you brush off. Follow with moisturizer or body oil. Don't brush areas with existing varicose veins because you may irritate them.
Take sociable garlic and vitamin E capsules to improve circulation and vitamin C and B-complex vitamins to strengthen your blood vessels, Massage your legs with upward strokes, flushing your blood up to your heart. Use a massage oil made with 3 drops of lavender oil and 1 drop of peppermint oil in a coconut oil base (use unscented coconut oil), or put only the essential oils into a small spray bottle filled with water and spray directly on your legs.
St. John's wort oil helps with inflammation of veins. Avoid sitting for too long, especially with your legs crossed,
Wear loose clothing.
Try acupuncture or reflexology treatments to get your circulation moving and to move any stagnant energy.
After a bath, apply castor oil directly onto the veins. Massage using upward strokes from your feet straight up your legs. Avoid standing for prolonged periods of time.
Apply a cool compress soaked in witch hazel on your legs. Add a few drops of rosemary oil to stimulate circulation.
Flex your feet up and down and circle your ankles to the left and to the right twice a day.
To help varicose veins, make sure you're getting enough of the following:
Calcium-rich foods, since varicose veins are aggravated by a calcium deficiency
Pineapple, to reduce swelling and inflammation.
Berries such as raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and cherries, as they contain a pigment that strengthens the walls of the veins
Foods high in fiber Plenty of water, to keep your bowels moving.

Does anybody know if you can have veins removed or filled on the shins?
My veins are hereditary and seem to be getting worse the older I get!

View 2 RepliesVaricose / Thread Veins In Lower Leg - Treatment?
I have a large number of what I call thread veins that are in clusters throughout my lower calf area. I first got one when I was in my 20s but then they started to erupt more frequently from my 40s onwards.
I did see a consultant privately via Bupa and had an ultrasound scan but because they were not varicose Bupa would not treat them. The consultant suggested having them injected but I would have to pay for the treatment myself.
I would be prepared to pay but new ones keep breaking out so I cannot see the point.
I use a herbal vein gel with horse chestnut and Hirudoid cream that the consultant recommended but neither do anything. What do others use.
Menstruation :: Varicose Veins, Bruises On Legs After Hysterectomy
I had the big cut hysterectomy in 2007 for uterine cancer. 3 weeks after my operation, my doctor started doing the 3 tiny holes surgery for hysterectomy for uterine cancer, but she never mentioned the option to me. Every since the hysterectomy, I have felt bad. I cannot lose weight. My back hurts, I cannot stand up straight without pain, My right hip hurts. I leak urine all the time. Low libido & I cannot experience satisfaction in the BR, I have low energy and depression. My legs never had any visible veins, but since my operation, my legs look like road maps of varicose veins. If I had to advise a woman, I would say do not agree to a hysterectomy.

View 5 RepliesVaricose Veins On Foot And Calf - Sclerotherapy Causing Purple Toes?
I'm only 19 years old and a healthy weight.
For about ten years now i've been suffering with varicose veins, within the last 5 I've had 3 sclerotherapy procedures because they haven't always been successful on taking the pain away. I have a lump on my left calf and two on my left foot. The last sclerotherapy was done in August 2014. For about a year now I've had this circular purple blister looking spot on my middle toe on my left foot, It's not been causing me any problems but within the past week the purple discolouration has spread to the pressure point of my toe, making it extremely painful to walk properly. It's not as deeply coloured as the circular mark but it's still obviously purple and I'm worried it will be permanent like the other one. There's also purple discolouration on the toe next to it as well.
I'm aware this could be due to bad circulation due to the sclerotherapy removing certain veins in my foot that might travel towards the toes. But how is this treated and how likely is it that it's something more serious such as gangrene, vasculitis or a cholesterol embolism?
I'm really worried so I'd appreciate any feedback from anyone who's suffered from this or knows any tips on making the purple go.

Recently i sign up at the gym and i saw that if i'm do e.g squats or stand long time, some veins on my second leg, near tibia are getting protrusion and soft when touching. so i guess it's early stage of varicose vein.
Now i wonder what to do, wear some compression on leg while being on the gym and everything will be fine? or just let go going to gym.
