Accepted Answer

Get a physical: This is difficult to tell from your description. You really need a complete history and physical due to the systemic nature of your complaints.

Question 9

varicose veins on hands are common starting what age group in women? 40s?

Accepted Answer

Hand veins: Hand veins increase in size and disability as we age due to loss of tissue volume and increased elasticity of the skin.  Other factors such as hormones, genetics and trauma may also play a role.  Enlarging hand veins can occur at any age but seem to be most prominent from about 40 and older.

Question 10

in the hands of a competent physician, is clarivein more technically demanding than that of a radio frequency approach when treating varicose veins?

Accepted Answer

Same: A competent phlebologist  should be able to preform clarivein procedure as well as radio frequency ablation procedure.  Clarivein does not require tumescent (local) anesthesia; however, it is a newer method, and the long term results are still not in.  Radiofrequency ablation has good results, and long term followup shows 90%+ success.
