varicose veins!

[muppetmummy]

Help!! I am 27 and I'm getting varicos veins already, my days of wearing skirts are over!

Over the past few months I've notices a vein in the back of my knee getting darker, then last night I noticed it's getting bumpy just above the back of my knee!!!!

I always knew I'd get them at some point cos my mum and gran suffer/suffered from them terribly and it can be hereditary...but I never in a million years thought they'd get me in my 20's!!! Shocking!!

I know how you feel, i've got some not bumpy though - it's caused through being pregnant, thats why its good to put your feet up if your sat down.

I'm 37 and only have one, that for some reason appeared when I was 18 or so. Never had more since It ruined my comfort level and confidence in wearing skirts above the knee as its just below and at the back of my knee

I'm hoping I don't get more with being pregnant but if it happens I may look to have that new treatment to remove them (the one that fills them with foam) at some point in a few years. If not I've lived with this one all these years so won't worry about it. I'll have droopy boobs and sagging tum to worry about then

O ageing is far from graceful eh

My mum had her veins stripped and it made them worse, but that was back in the 80's so I'm sure the techniques are a lot better now.
Will be going weight watchers once I've had this baby as losing weight might help. Why don't men ever get this stuff, they have it so easy
