Varicose veins
Posted , 3 users are following.
hello all...i was wondering if any of you ladies have varicose veins and have they gotten worse during menopause? i seem to be having trouble with my legs, although i have had some it seems that i am getting more broken or spider veins also. also some days it feels like shin splints in one leg which has the worse vein. thanks and i hope everyone is having a good day!

Yes mainly in left leg (calf and behind knee). I usually use a cream for quick relief. I have heard that this is not so uncommon during menopause.
I also use compression socks sometimes. It does help a little.

It is a cream called Hirudoid that we get in Sweden. I don't know if it is a brand name or not, but it is specifically used for varicose veins. It can be purchased over the counter...
