Best tip I got from a doctor: lose weight!

.   Stand up straight. Good posture helps decrease pressure in your veins.  \n  \n2.   Maintain ideal body weight. Too much weight causes the entire circulatory system to work harder, which in turn increases the inside pressure of the leg veins.  \n  \n3.   Keep your legs uncrossed when sitting. Crossing legs slows the upward flow of blood back to the heart and increases the pressure on the insides of the leg veins.  \n  \n4.   Exercise regularly, choosing low-impact activities such as walking, cycling, rowing and swimming. These activities will improve overall circulation without adding undue pressure to the veins.  \n  \n5.   Avoid standing in one place for a long period of time. If your job requires that you must, such as for a bank teller or grocery clerk, wear mild compression hose. These types of hose help blood pump more efficiently back to the heart.  \n  \n6.   Stretch your legs if you have to sit for long periods. Rotate your ankles and flex your toes while you are sitting.  \n  \n7.   Wear clothing that doesn't constrict your waist, groin or legs.  \n  \n8.   Avoid high heels. The undue stress they put on your lower legs can cause a constriction in blood flow from the leg back to the heart.  \n  \n9.   Raise your legs up 6 to 12 inches above your heart when you are lying down. This allows the blood in the lower legs to flow easily back to the heart, and lessens the work of the valves. Think of it as a kind of respite for your lower legs.  \n  \n10.   Avoid high-estrogen birth control pills, which reduce the valves' ability to close.

There are socks that are generally meant for the elderly and those with diabetes that promote healthy circulation within your feet and legs. I've posted many websites that carry these under sources. I would first suggest that you see a podiatrist or your general doctor concerning the issue and see what he prescribes you. Best of luck :)

Swim, cycle, climb stairs, run walk - do all the things that put a strain on the legs. \n\nYou could also try this exercise-\n\n lie on your side use the hand closer to the floor to support your head ( so that your head is about 12 inches above  the floor ). Your other hand must be placed on the floor face down infront of your stomach region. Now lift your leg which is away from the floor as far as you can. Hold for sometime and come down slowly. Repeat atleast 10 times. Turn over and repeat the procedure aiming at the other leg. Gradually increase the number of times you do it.\nGood Luck.

It will get worse, much worse.  My track coach had me do a trick that helped a ton.  Take your shoes and socks off and sit in a sandbox at a playground.  Then extend your feet in front of you and stick them in the soft sand.  Then try and squeeze your feet so you are trying to curl your toes to your heel.  Do a few sets of 15 - 20 of this every day if you can.  It made my shin splints go completely away.

try wrapping your legs in a warm blanket if its cold, and if its warm try spraying ice water on them and then wrap them in a cool blanket. I don't know why it helps but it does.

Leg cramps...\nAdd some rock salt to a bucket of hot water and a bucket of cold water ( running tap water is also ok ). Dip ur legs alternatively in the buckets for 5 mins each. This should feel u relaxed

There are two things I diod to help that. 1 use the parachute run method. They have small parachutes that you run against that help to improve leg strength. 2nd weighted shoes, really do make you build leg muscles. And most important spend time in the weight room.

1) Never cross your legs\n\n2) If you are standing for long periods of time, do about 20 calf raises every 1/2 hour to hour to keep the blood flowing back to the heart from your legs, also do hamstring curls to keep blood flow through the thighs back to the heart.\n\n3) Exercises regularly\n\n4) Do not wear clothes that are too tight\n\n5) Elevate your legs at home when your watching t.v. or reading.\n\nAs far as diet goes... eating a diet high in fiber and fresh fruits and veggies can help prevent varicose veins somewhat, but not totally. Heredity plays a major role here.\nIf they become more than you want to deal with, you can have them surgically repaired. This surgery can be painful and there is a risk of blood clot formation.\n\nUs women have so many fun things to deal with don't we?? =)

Elevate your legs once you at home, take an ice bag place on the sore parts of your legs leave there for 15 minutes but not any longer. Try not to do any pushing of furniture or any hard work around your house. Then right before bed time take a soothing bath  if at all possible. In the morning try to stay away from anything with caffeine and you should do this on a regular basis and also try to exercise just a little each day..\n\nGood Luck..

A starting block would be good. To help your leg, go to a track-field and practice jumping over posts or fences!\n\nGood-Luck!

Work out daily, wear ankle weights 24/7. Also, try doing lifting. It will help. However, do less weights and more repetitions.  This will help tone and strengthen your legs without making them bulky.  It sounds like you are already very fit, but make sure to focus on your entire body, not just your legs.  Build up your core with ab work and try to lift with your arms too.
