Questions about veins

Hi ladies-

I'm a 30 year old woman, who is already showing signs of vericose veins. Ugh. My mom has them fairly bad, so I guess I'm bound to get them at some point. I work in healthcare, and wear support hose/socks everyday to try to prevent them from worsening.

I notice them getting bad right on the inside of my ankles, and behinds my knees. And I also feel pain/sensitivity in these areas...is that something to be worried about? What types of treatments are available for young women to help?

THanks in advance!

Hi there. I don't personally know much about VV, but I did do a search here at ivillage and got some good articles. It looks like there are treatment options. Take care, Laura
