I have a very enlarged varicose vein in my leg that I have booked in to be removed in April. After a scan I was told it is 12mm wide rather than 2mm which is what it should be.

In the mean time it is constantly inflamed, hot and in parts sore to the touch, aches whenever I stand up and I keep getting cramp in my leg as well. I feel tired and headache in my self as well.

The only time I feel comfortable is when I am resting in bed.

Considering I am only 41 this is so frustrating! If this is what I have to put up with for the next month or so then I don't know what to do.

Has anyone been like this and do you have any suggestions of things I can do to alleviate the pain so I can do a bit more.

Thank you.
