The goals of varicose vein treatment are to reduce symptoms and prevent complications. For some, the goal may be improved appearance. Home treatment—especially exercising, wearing compression stockings, and elevating the legs—is the first and often best approach.\n\nOther treatment, such as sclerotherapy or ligation and stripping surgery, may be considered if symptoms and complications (such as pain, inflammation of the skin, and ulcers) develop or continue to get worse despite home treatment.\n\n    * Sclerotherapy uses an injection of a chemical (sclerosant) into a varicose vein to damage and scar the inside lining of the vein, causing the vein to close.\n    * In ligation and stripping, incisions are made over the varicose veins, and the vein is tied off (ligated) and sometimes removed (stripped).\n\nTreatment may be necessary to remove the damaged veins, treat complications, or correct an underlying problem that is causing the varicose veins. The size of your varicose veins affects your treatment options. Generally, larger varicose veins are treated with surgery (ligation and stripping). Smaller varicose veins and spider veins are usually treated with sclerotherapy or laser therapy.\n\nRadiofrequency closure technique has recently been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is sometimes used to treat varicose veins. This procedure uses radiofrequency energy (instead of laser energy) to close off a large varicose vein in the leg. In one study, people receiving this treatment reported a high degree of satisfaction.

Scr** that, get some tiger balm or liniment. you can get it at the drug store. the red kind is the best but test it in light layers as it kinda goes strong. but it's gooood for leg pain. mine anyway.  Was yours Linimist?  My dad uses that. Also not so bad. There's lots. I'd not pay shipping and handling if you don't have to.  You can call any chiro or massage therapist in your town, they probably have a ton of recommendations and samples. If you want all natural, and your leg pain is partly circulation problems, Weleda has er, Verdena? gel that you put on and it's WONDERFUL. Felt like dancin'.  Believe it or not I'm a spring chicken still, just a lot of ...happens. It's sold at www.saffronrouge.com  they have a lot of good stuff. Their arnica oil is good as well.

Advil if it's bad.  Caffeine if it's not.  Seriously, caffeine helps-dilates the veins in your head or something.

Its really awful, people who dont have it, have no idea! The best help I have found, is 1 taking a hot shower or bath, right befor bed. While in the shower or bath, do some leg bends, briskley rub your legs, as hard as u can massage in the back calf area, rub the vein area behind both knees, when done rub your legs down with a peppermint lotion or creme, the peppermint feels very soothing, also the rubbing and massage u did will promote much better circulation. Also if u dont mind the taste u can add ice and lemon to help, tonic water is very good, has quinine in it, I had been given quinine pills by my dr. but even she suggested I use them as least as possible, they are not all that good for people, have been responsible for even some deaths, I will no longer ever use them, but the above has all been a big help for me, I can lay down without feeling I must move my legs all night! I hope this is help for u also, and happy holidays too!!!

My boyfriend had this problem. He had it for years, and after he went to the doctor, he told him he had a broken vein, which the Dr. healed right there. It hasn't bothered since, so maybe your best bet is to go.

st john's is the herbal alternative, however, if you find an other one, it probably wont work either.  Just get the scrip or try therapy for the time being (it works great)

It's possible that it's a varicose vein, but most likely it's a spider-vein.  Spider veins occur when the valve in the vein collapses (this happens fairly often in the legs) and blood gets a bit stagnant, permanently coloring the vein/capillary.  If you had an injury here, the chances of it being a spider vein increase.  If there is no pain associated with it and it isn't raised, then I wouldn't worry about it, but you may ask your doctor the next time you see him (don't make a special appt.), HOWEVER, if there's pain and/or it's raised, I would contact your doctor.

Its scar tissue. Sometimes over time it will go away over time, or at least go down a bit. I've heard a rumor that gentle massage and vitamin e will help it loosen up and go back to normal, but I cant tell you if this is true or not. I guess its worth a try.  The theory is that  you want to get blood flow back into the hardened scar tissue so the skin can regenerate veins and go back to normal. Do some research on the internet, or ask your doctor.

Vitamin K might be better for that.  It's typically used for spider veins and to reduce redness.\n\nOf course you can never go wrong with E on the skin.

First quest. is. . . .  Are you sure? If so you should start by asking your doctor if that is indeed a possible cure, that should patch you through if you're looking for fame/fortune. jk. but seriously I think a doctor would be the most reliable source.

Yes, I have had this done on my cheeks. The procedure is called Lazar. About two treatments is all it will take. Any vein center or some spa's can do this for you. It is not that costly. Which is good cause insurance will not pay for it. The procedure feels kinda like being snapped with a rubber band. But it is very tolerable. \nGood Luck,\nFaith E

Please, please, please don't "look for an alternative to conventional meds," as you can't believe how many screwed up patients I've seen as a result of trying to fix a thyroid problem with unconventional means.  This can be really, really dangerous.  Talk with your doctor.

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.

What is it for?\nIf it is not subscribed by a doctor for a necessary treatment, try some good and healthy food, some dry red or white wine with good company, this is how we treat life, ourselves and family and friends!
