i'm sorry you're going through this. i can certainly understand your wanting a more permanent solution to the problem after dealing with the support hose for five years. certainly there are surgical procedures to treat varicose veins. i'm not sure why your health care provider didn't recommend any of them when you were first diagnosed. after five years you may feel free to return to your provider and ask about more permanent options for your condition. there may be a very good reason why you weren't offered surgery to begin with. maybe it wasn't feasible for some reason. but surgical techniques change and patients change. maybe today you're a better candidate for surgery than you were five years ago. the only way to find out is to see a medical professional. you can start with your primary care provider or go directly to a physician who specializes in varicose vein treatments. hope this helps!
is surgery an option for those having deep vein varicose? only option is just wear the leg stockings whole life? . i have been diagnosed with deep vein varicose in 2007. i have been told leg stockings is my only option. i am 46 years old male and want to know what my options are now and any complications that can develop as i age and be prepared. i do not have diabetics or blood pressure. i do not suffer from any other diseases except that my left leg is very tired and i wear stockings. i do play fast racket games and not sure if that helps or hurts my varicose veins in the long run.
