Hello,

I am only 24 and I have several spider veins. There is one that is on my leg just under my butt cheek and it hurts!! Will exercising help relieve pain or even get rid of spider viens? My exercising is spurratic. I loose motivation quickly. :(

Hi Raspberry snow

What a pretty name! Welcome to the board.:)

>>I am only 24 and I have several spider veins. There is one that is on my leg just under my butt cheek and it hurts!!

**I'm so sorry to hear that. I think I'd check with my doctor on that one, mainly because it keeps hurting. You'll probably feel better too, just knowing what's going on.:)

>>Will exercising help relieve pain or even get rid of spider viens?

**I've not heard that exercising will get rid of spider veins but perhaps someone else here will know more.

I did find this article that might help?

Good luck and I hope you find some answers. :)

Hi raspberry snow,

Welcome to our board!

Sorry to hear about these spider veins of yours. Have you mentioned it to the doctor?

See what they might suggest .. I see Golly has passed on some information to you ..

Hope it helps.

I don't believe exercising will make them go away ..

Again ask the doctor .. they know best

Sure hope you decide to come back and join us on our journey of getting *Fit & Healthy*

Looking forward to seeing you again :)

~Hugs~
