Varicose veins
My mother has varicose veins. 3 years back I started a job where I had to stand for long hours. This lead to burning sensation on my outer thigh whenever I touched it. A physiotherapist told me that this is due to varicose veins, which I haven't yet developed. I usually have pain in my legs and pain on the left side of my body. Should I start wearing compression stockings for this?
