The : The first thing to do is get some compression stockings. These are not available at all pharmacies, so you may have to call around. They don't require a prescription, but can be pricey. Get grade 2 or 3 stockings, at least calf-high. These will help your pain right away and their initial use is required by most insurance companies before they'll cover anything else related to vein problems. The next thing to do is go to the doctor finder page at the society of interventional radiology website (http://doctor-finder.Sirweb.Org/). I found 22 doctors in michigan who specialize in the treatment of varicose veins. These folks will find out what's causing your problem and can offer a variety of minimally-invasive treatments.

R.I.C.E: Rest, ice, compression, elevation. Get fitted for prescription support stockings. Graduated medical stockings made in wonderful different fabrics and colors for men and women until you can get your venous insufficiency fixed by a phlebologist, vein specialist: www.Phlebolgy.Org put in zip code to find doctor. When you have any break at work lay down and elevate feet above level of heart.
