Laser! This will deaden the vien and reduce any future flares, remove the visibility of the vien, and help prevent any in the future.\n\nMost medical spas will do this or Laser surgery centers that also do hair removal etc.

Varicose veins don't show up as noticeably on darker skin.  A self-tanner or bronzer might help.\n\n\nAnd if you're going to Greece, you won't know anybody there anyway - don't worry too much about them.  Go and have fun.

it is very sore and very bruised when you first have it done but after a couple of days you are mobile again. varicous veins are extremely painful but once the bruising goes its fine although if the reason for the op is more cosmetic than pain relief then i wouldnt have it done as it is fairly painful at first. good luck!

1) elevate the affected leg(s) when possible\n2) compression stockings\n3) seek out evaluation by a qualified vascular surgeon; there are some new treatments that are effective and let the patient get back to work quickly.

Take some benedryl,asap.You don't want to take the chance of it becoming worse.Anaphalaxis is not fun, believe me! If at all possible, try to get on a long acting anti histamine.Claritin(loretidine) is over the counter now, and acts pretty fast.Most antihistimines will help with the throat irritation.You could also try drinking a cold drink.The cold will soothe the inflamation.

New Techniques Safely Remove Deep Vein Clots\nThey're also quicker, saving health-care costs, studies find \nBy Janice Billingsley\nHealthDay Reporter\nFRIDAY, April 1 (HealthDay News) -- New techniques that aid in dissolving and removing blood clots in the legs could improve treatment for this painful and often dangerous condition, researchers report.\nDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) affects approximately 250,000 people annually, and about half of them go on to suffer from chronic leg pain and swelling, called post-thrombotic syndrome, said Dr. Suresh Vedantham, assistant professor of radiology and surgery at Washington University, in St. Louis.\nThe condition has received considerable media attention in the past few years after striking passengers on long-distance flights. Many airlines now advocate that passengers do simple exercises during flights to maintain healthy circulation in the legs.\n\nThe most common DVT treatment -- a blood-thinner medication that prevents new clots but does not remove the existing clot -- could be improved upon, Vedantham said. "It's been sort of recognized that removing the clot is a better treatment than blood thinner, but the previous treatments to do this are not user-friendly," he said.\n\nThe traditional clot-removing treatment, called catheter-directed thrombolysis, involves an infusion of anti-clotting medication that takes as long as two days to break down the clot. The procedure also requires careful monitoring, with a follow-up in a hospital's intensive care unit. Less than 5 percent of individuals with deep vein clots undergo the procedure, Vedantham said.\n\n"The holy grail for us has been, 'Can you remove the clot in one step,' and these [new] techniques may turn out to be what we've been seeking for a long time," he said.\n\nVedantham presented research on three of these new technologies on Friday at the Society of Interventional Radiology's annual scientific meeting in New Orleans.\n\nThe first, called the Power Pulse Spray, delivers clot-dissolving medicine at a high force which helps break up DVT by spreading the drug over a surface area of the clot. Thirty minutes later -- when the clot begins to partially dissolve -- the spray is used to create a vacuum so the clot can be sucked into a catheter and removed.\n\nIn studies of the device, 80 percent of 14 patients who tried the technique were treated in a single session, and in 10 cases (71 percent), the clot was completely removed. Three of the patients had a substantial removal of their clots while one achieved only a partial removal.\n\nA second method, called The Trellis(r)-8 Infusion System, first isolates the clot by surrounding it with inflated balloons to minimize bleeding. Doctors then insert a thin vibrating wire filament into the blockage, effectively chewing up the clot. The clot fragments are then pulled into a catheter and removed from the body.\n\nA study compared the Trellis technique to the traditional catheter-directed thrombolysis. The researchers report that patients who underwent the vibrating wire treatment experienced a lower risk of bleeding and required lower doses of clot-dissolving medication. The procedure also took less time, saving hospital costs.\n\nVedantham also reported on a third technique, the HELIX Clot Buster, a device that works by chewing up the clot. Unlike the other two devices, HELIX is not yet approved by the FDA for use in DVT, although it is FDA-approved for clots related to dialysis, the researchers said.\n\nIn an eight-year study involving 36 patients -- 11 of whom had the traditional method of clot removal, and 25 of whom were treated with the HELIX -- researchers found no difference in the overall 86 percent success rate of the two therapies in removing the clots.\n\nIn the HELIX group, however, treatment time was significantly shorter and the dose of anti-clotting medicine required was half that of traditional interventions.

Firstly you should begin to drink as much water as you can every day...at least 8 glasses or 2 litres. I know it sounds a lot but it can be done. What you will find is that you will no longer have the same thirst for tea, coffee, juices and soft drinks. In short anything you used to take in for fluid. Please still drink your favourites but don't be surprised if you just don't feel like them. Good Luck.\n.\nSecondly, providing you have no allergy to this, begin taking a good magnesium supplement. There are many reputable brands out there. This primarily assists with circulation problems ie cramping. Do not expect overnight miracles, although you may notice an improvement quickly. It is as likely that you may have to take them for 2-4 weeks before you begin noticing a lessening of your cramps. Whatever supplement you take read the ingredients carefully and question the shop assistant if you do not understand anything. Good Luck.\n.\nThirdly, invest in a soft cushion with herbs like lavender inside which are designed to be heated in a microwave. I have one of these and I used it nightly for my recurring stiff neck and the ensuing headaches I suffered. It was wonderful. Lovely and warm and soothing and the smell just helped me so much drift off to sleep. There are many kinds on the market. Look for those in chemists, health food shops, variety stores and practitioners of aromatherapy healing products. I suggest you ensure the one that you buy is made of a soft snuggly kind of material. Place it under or over the area of your leg getting the cramps so that you are comfortable to fall sleep with it there. Good Luck.\n.\nThe above three suggestions will work together for a long term eradication of your cramps. I wish you well. Of course the short term solution is the heated pillow/cushion.

Yes... it sure can cause it.. it plays with the vascularity of the veins and causes edema... so better quit it cold turkey...

My grandma gets those and they're hereditary so, I've researched how to prevent them.  Exercising and keeping your legs elevated are the best ways.  However, once you get them, things like Vein Away Plus barely reduce the appearnce of them.  Surgery is the only way to get rid of them in a noticeable way.

No permanent cure.  Surgery removes the vein that you see and usually the one behind it (which is actually the bad one).  I had one leg done and I am very happy.  They only had to remove 3 veins.  sshe probably has too many veins involved and it would be dangerous for her should she need any heart surgery in the future.  (they take those veins from her leg).  \nIf the varicosity is small I don't understand why surgery is not recommended.  There is also laser surgery.  If varicose veins are hereditary and/or if she is on her feet all day in the wrong shoes, removal will only be temporary.  Mine are hereditary and I am on my feet all day (in sneakers) and I expect that at some point I will have more.  So far so good.  It's been 4 years.  And no sign of them yet and my legs feel (and look) great.

The best treatment is; see a Doctor.\n\n But if you mean a home remedy, there are many. I personally take tylenol every 4-6 hours to keep my fever down ,a multi-vitamin, extra vitamin C, eat only soft foods to avoid scatching my throat worse (and to make swallowing easier), I gargle with peroxide (of coarse I do not swallow it), and I warm 'Vicks' in the microwave until it's barely clear (makes it more spreadable) and with two Q-Tips taped together (over lapping a tip on each)I dip the long Q-Tip in the 'Vicks' (touch it to my lip to make sure it's not too hot) I get a bunch on the swab and swab my tonsil area. After doing this i do not swallow for atleast 5 minutes,  within about 15 minutes I get so much relief in my throat that if I couldn't swallow, I can then. I every hour suck on a popcicle or a half a cup of ice etc. to keep the swelling down in my throat. I peroxide and Vicks my throat every 8 hours. Normally in a couple of days, I'm well. It's and 'ole time remedy' and I've been doing this for 30 years and so has the rest of my family.\n Now, if you do this, that's your choice but I'm sure you knew the 'NORMAL ADVICE, Go to the Doctor'!!, right.? So for all you 'Do Gooders', "going to the Doctor has been discussed and as for what my family and I do, it's 'NUNYA', (breaking it down for ya, NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS) so your advice on what I do save it for someone who wants to hear what you have to say!!!

Alternate between ice and a heating pad and Naproxin Sodium which is generic for Aleve will help tremendously with the discomfort!
