Varicose veins: Get treatment to get rid of pain. Better yet, prevent varicose veins in the 1st place. But if already there, never stand when sitting is possible. And never sit when laying down is possible. And consider putting on really snug, possibly uncomfortable, support hose before getting out of bed (this might require bathing at night before going to bed). Failing all this, ask surgeon for treatment.

Consult Vasc. Surgeo: He will probably suggest Support hose and Ultrasound of legs to determine the exact cause of the Va-rices.

See a vein doctor.: Varicose veins are usually due to malfunctioning valves is the saphenous veins. This can be diagnosed by a venous reflux ultrasound. You should see a vascular surgeon or a vein specialist. The gold standard for varicose vein treatment is to seal the leaking valves with a laser or radio frequency catheter.
