I had vnus closer done on varicose veins?

But the veins came back. Is this normal?

am i being discriminated against because of my “disability”?

i have a progressive condition with has the capability of affecting my day to day activities – i cannot stand for long periods of time without making myself ill. i have varicose veins, caused by weak veins in my legs and from being overweight in the past. (i have never been pregnant). so i know the disability discrimination act covers me, but am not sure that it covers what i am about to ask.

i work part-time (contracted 12hrs a week) in fashion retail, so the job involves an amount of standing. they say they cannot provide me with a seat at the till point as it would be in breach of their health and safety (apparently?!?) I instead am offered the opportunity to have a 15 min break in a 4 hour shift on the provision that i work the extra 15 mins to make the time up (none of my other colleagues are offered this) so i technically end up working 4hrs and 15mins every shift, but only get paid for 4hrs. is this allowed? or should i be given the break as part of my 4 hrs and not in addition to?
under normal circumstances the amount of hours you have to work to get a 15 min break is 4 1/2.

i am in the UK. thanks.
i just want to add that i had been umemployed for 3 years because of my condtion and lack of skills prior to getting this job, i was sick of being on benefits and wanted to work.
however i never intended working in retail to be a long term solution as it is panning out to be. but time flies and what with the recession, finding alternative and more suitable employment has not been fruitful.

Are varicose veins and spider veins the same thing? and if so, what can i do to prevent them?

Spider veins , help !? ?

Im 15 years old and ive recentley noticed that i have spider veins right above my calves. They arent that bad, and i can easily cover them up with makeup, but just the though of them gets me upset. Ive been exercising and running a lot lately because im trying to loose weight. Im not overweight or anything though, because i know being overweight can put pressure on your legs and cause spider veins. My moms also has varicose and spider veins, but she told me that the reasoning why she has them is because she smokes. So im not sure if its really hereditary ? Can someone please give me some advice on how to make them go away , or appear lighter. Does sitting in the sun and getting color in my legs help? Im also very light skinned , so they are more noticible .

Varicose vein in umbilical cord?

Im currently 32 weeks with baby number 4.
Has anyone had any experiance with a varicose vein in the umbilical cord? I asked today, and my doctor told me not to worry, but sometimes the vein can cause a clot, and the clot could potentaly kill baby. Im not that excited about her answer, and baby is growing on the small side so im a little anxious now. I am having weekly scans to keep an eye on the situation.
Any personal experiances of this would be really good to hear.

Thanks in advance for any input

I’m 19 and I have varicose vein? How to get rid of it.?

I have bulging varicose vein behind my right knee. No pain or bleeding yet but I find it really ugly!
I’m only 19 but i’m still a student so I didn’t stand around a lot. I tried elevating my right leg during my sleep but it doesn’t help. Help me! I’m really depressed about it and I don’t have thousands to fork out for expensive surgeries. I can fork out hundreds though.

I only have varicose vein on my right leg. Tell me what can I do to get rid of them please? I’m really miserable about it

I’m only 15 and I already have a varicose vein?

I guess it’s genetic because my mom has them and her mom did as well.
I’m not really overweight at all; 5’2″ and about 110 lbs
If I do shoulder stand (picture: http://www.michael4reiki.com/images/shoulder_stand.jpg ) and walk every day along with ballet which I do normally, will it go away? or do I need some kind of laser surgery?

My left testicle feels veiny?

Yesterday I noticed the side of my left testicle was feeling a bit veiny (like the way the back of the testices usually feel). I had a bath and that made it even more veiny, plus the left one was hanging. It’s not so bad today, I have to wait until Monday to visit the doctor. When I was looking up about this I found a picture of varicose veins in a testicle and I think that might be what it is, is this common? I thought only elderly people get varicose veins?
I’ve just started regularly shaving there too, don’t know if that has anything to do with it?

Did Angelina Jolie get Botox or something? Check out her appearance with Brad last night…?

Hey everyone… so is it just me or did angelina jolie get botox? Or maybe she actually realized she was getting anorexic and gained 10 lbs or something? look at these pictures of her last night:

http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2009-08-11-basterds_N.htm

I’ve thought Angelina was looking old (aging badly for a 34 year old) and WAY TOO THIN (varicose veins in arms and her forehead) but check out those pictures. WOW. she looks like she’s in her mid twenties… or maybe it’s because the picture isn’t zoomed in enough?

Anyway, she looks hot (and i’m a girl) …. but also her legs and arms look toned and thicker than before.

The one bad thing is that I’ve thought despite her aging, she looks like one of the world’s most beautiful woman. Now she just looks hot/sexy/pretty… but like generic. She looks like jessica alba, megan fox, scarlett Jo… like they’re all pretty… but most girls can be with makeup, exercise regimes, surgery ,etc.

Jolie had a unique, exotic beauty.

Anyway… maybe it’s just the weight gain… since thin people age more rapidly… and you get more wrinkles.

she looks especially different in the first pic.
