Options for varicose veins

by hanaguchi, Oct 28, 2006 12:00AM
What are the options for pretty bad varicose veins on the inner thigh? Also, other than looking bad are there any long term health concerns?
Thanks

there are a few options, here's a link that is helpful:

Also - just for your info - my mom has gotten the treatment where they inject the spider veins with something that makes the vein not as noticable, but it only lasts about a year and a half or so... shes frustrated about that..
