i have had 2 surgeries on my leg for Varicose Veins and have had a history of Superficial blood clots…. will that keep me out of the Air Force? Should i give those medical records of my Varicose vein surgery to MEPS so that the doctors can look? will they disqualify me for having the surgeries and history of blood clots? should i be worried?

I’m an 18-year-old male. I just had vascular surgery to remove a vein that was giving me pain and for cosmetic reasons. My mom tells me that i can never participate in sporting activities again. She says sports are the reason i had such a premature case of varicose veins. Please, could someone tell me if they lived an active life after varicose vein surgery? My youth is pretty much lifted right from under my feet if this be the truth.

I am pregnant and having a real problem with varicose veins in my leg. They look pretty bad, and bulge noticeably. I’d like to see a vascular surgeon about this once I have my baby. Do you think tricare will help cover the cost of a procedure to fix these veins?

I want to know if people who have varicose veins could also have the chance to develop hemorrhoids. I read that hemorrhoids are varicose veis on the anus. What differenciates them with the ones that develope on legs, wchich I have for a long time.

I am 20 years old, and I eat well and exercise regularly. Thanks to genetics I have vein problems and have been getting spider veins since I was 15. I now have big veins on the back of my thighs that are starting to protrude, but VERY slightly. Is the the beginning of varicose veins? If so, is there anything I can do about it? Thanks!

I am only 36 yrs old but I have a lot of varicose veins on right side of my leg. What are the other remedies aside from laser surgery?

If someone has varicose veins that pop out from behind their right leg is that a sign for concern or it doesn’t really mean anything?
I’m in my 30s and they’re starting to hurt and pop out more.

I’ve had varicose veins for some time now. I’ve recently started going on long walks for exercise. The past few days, my veins have made my left leg feel very heavy and tingly. It’s never done that before. Should I stop going on the long walks? I’d hate to give it up.
Just a little bit more info: I’m still young (30), not very physically active except for the walking, I’m 6′ tall (I hide my weight well) and I’ve lost about 50 pounds this year. I have another 50-60 to go before I’m really skinny. *lol*
Varicose veins are hereditary. I got mine from my mom’s side of the family (they’re all skinny).
