No: Everyone is different and varicose veins develop at different rates. Wear knee high 15mmHg Camp SigVaris/Jobst stockings in the interim to impede enlargement

Size of V V's.: In most cases varicose veins increase slowly in size. It will not make a difference to wait 11 weeks for your appointment. However, if you have varicose veins, then you should have a venous ultrasound before injecting them to see if there is a cause of the veins. See a vein specialist.
