Compression socks or surgery for varicose veins

Thanks very much, Ron. I really appreciate the info. After your recommendation and the two previous posters’, I think I am going to try and get it fixed with some non-invasive, local aesthetic fix. I will see what the doctor recommends, but I’ll enquire about the venaseal. I am going to see if I can see another GP at my doctor’s surgery and push for an NHS referral because of the eczema, otherwise I will try and find a local private clinic with a good rep.

The extra watts make sense. Much of the stuff I have read online contradicts my doctor’s opinion that we miss our malfunctioning veins after they’ve been removed. Incidentally, my right leg with the problems is a few watts weaker than my left, so maybe it’ll balance it out.

Thanks again
James
