varicose veins

[BetterFlyAway]

Has anyone got any advice on varicose veins? As mine are starting to cause me pain.

If that’s the case you should get checked out by your gp . I make sure my legs get plenty of moisture cream . My varicose veins are reasonably ok

I use vaseline cocoa radiant cream for all over my body. Will any type of cream help? Or something specific?

I use Unguentum M I got from doctor it comes in a tub , very good for eczema which seems to be a nice thick cream for the varicose veins as well . Cetraben is also good . Both come in 500 g

Look at getting a doppler assessment from your surgery, you may need compression hosiery which can help. A good skincare routine is also advisable hydrate your legs with a good moisturiser. 🙂

I moisturize my skin in general but is there a specific type of cream that one has to use for varicose veins?

Mine are giving me gip too. Put it down to hot weather?

I've had varicose veins for years but it was only last night that I had cramp in my left leg.

I take quinine for cramps in legs made a great difference to me, I have had cramp so bad it has bruised my calves?

I will try that, thanks!

A few months ago I had like a few spider veins in my left leg. I'm not sure this cause of this. This happened when I was having acupuncture sessions. Sigh.
