Varicose Vein
I have been having leg ache for quite some years now. I feel relief only if I shake my legs. While lying down, I have relief only if I raise my legs. I recently took ultra sound doppler for both legs, which I have attached. Please let me know if it needs surgery. I really need relief from pain as it takes a toll on my everyday work.

At this stage you have two options :
Go for an in clinic full consult and get a proper evaluation as we dont even have a picture of your legs to comment.
Or
Start using compression Stockings for bothe your legs (Above the knee, Grade 2 ) and elevate your legs when you lie down.
This is best If you dont want surgery, which at this stage you really dont need.
If you cant use stockings then you dont have any other option other than surgery as this may worsen over the years. But there are minimally invasive options also for the surgery.
And for heavens sake avoid prolonged standing.

Try conservative management including compression stockings that you have to wear throughout the day.Avoid prolonged standing.If this also doesnt settle your problem then undergo surgery thats the only best option.Rest are temporary.Surgery is done via laser and open techniques that depends from where you get it done.
