Ware Socks: Compression stockings are a main stay of varicose vein treatment. Poor circulation (arterial disease) is different from venous disease. Before undergoing compression therapy your dr. Should evaluate for the presence of arterial disease. Combined disease requires modified treatment plans.

Varicose Veins: Compression stockings are one conservative treatment to deal with vein disease in the legs, but there are other potential treatment that you may benefit from. Also, you would need some testing to rule out peripheral artery disease due to the cold feet. I would suggest that you seek out a board-certified vascular surgeon for evaluation, as they are considered experts in circulation diseases.
