I had Tri-Vex laser surgery in Feb. 2009. My left leg ached and the veins were really noticable and protruding. I’ve had them for about 25 years and it was time to finally do something about them. Now my leg looks worse than before. The achyness is gone, but still looks very bruised and every incision really sticks out. The Doctor gave me some Epi-Quin cream (bleaching cream) but after 6 months use, it really isn’t doing anything. Has anyone else had this problem? What is the cause and what can be done to correct it.

I had surgery in april ,2009 at that time my legs were heavy and got tired easily. The veins were large and pertruding. Since the surgery my left leg hurts almost continously, and had a infection that finally clearaed up after 2 rounds of MEDICATION ( so they say). Now my right leg on are did not hold and looks worse than before. The surgeon wants to do another surgery to correct and remove veins from the back. I am so confused on what I should do. I am afraid if I don’t it will get much worse and if I do maybe another infection and another 2 -3 months of recovery. I wish I had never had the surgery but my regular vein dr sd they were to bad for other procedures.

So I guess I’m not alone. I’m very self conscious of my legs too. I think it depends on what type of procedure you have done but I was given the quote of about $3000 per leg. Again, depends on what type of procedure will need to be done. I believe this was for schlerotherapy for one leg and evlt for the other.

Hi i have had vericose veins on the back of both my calves. For as long as i can remember. Prolly since i was 15 but back then they were not to noticeable prolly only to me so i never did pay much attention to it. then years later i notice them getting thicker and darker. So i guess around 25 or so it was really bugging me. Now that am 38 one leg really looks bad my nephew who is 2 said to me the other day”Tia you dirty” i said dirty? Where baby? and he pointed to my vericose veins on the back of my calves. one calve looks really bad but only right behind the calve the ther calve is not to bad at all. I was reading what some of the other women were talking about. Alot of you said you are hurting and that it feels like sharp needle like pain and tenderness and that its hard for you to stand. Also that you live in pain. I thank god that i dont have any of that. But i find it weird that i dont. I hate the site of them if i wear shorts i hate if am in the store and someone is behind. I feel like everybody is looking at that one calve that looks so ugly. I would like to get it remove or stripped or lasered off. But i dont have insurance so i was wondering if some could give me some rough quotes on different procedures. PLEASE Just so i can have an idea of how much i would have to save. Thank you

I have varicose veins in my lower leg. Recently I have experienced tenderness in my big toe. Is there any connection with the two.
