Walking is good: Generally speaking people affected by varicose veins that present symptoms feel worse on standing and sitting for prolonged periods and heaviness, tiredness and ache improve by leg elevation or walking. Other option for symptomatic relief is using elastic compression. At times patients would also benefit from removal, ablation or sclerotherapy of varicose veins to decrease symptoms.
