Compression stocking: Single sided vericose veins that cause pain may be treated by compression stockings as first therapy. If you find relief they should be placed first thing in the morning when you wake up. If you don't find relief or have tried them before then ablation or surgery may be an option. Find a surgeon with experience in venous disease. A vascular surgeon.

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.
