W3r1

Hi just finished my W3r1 noticed my varicose veins hurt, was thinking of wearing supports, does anyone else do this, if so what is the best way?

Great for completing wk3r1. I hope someone can help with advice to help your legs. Well done you 😊

I’ve no medical knowledge at all (so feel free to ignore me!) but I had a similar issue at around the same point. I saw a physio who specialises in sports because my hip was painful but she diagnosed VERY tight shin muscles (calf tight too but shins apparently bad). She gave me a (brutal!) massage and then I rested for a week or so and have since tried to do more stretches for the front of the leg (just google) and haven’t had any problems with shins at all since then! I definitely thought it was my veins and was concerned when she was massaging so vigorously but it seemed to do the trick for me.
