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.

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 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.

Pain in my legs? What could be causing this?

I’ve been having pain in my legs for quite some time now. It comes & goes, and never stays. And it’s not really that painful, it’s a dull, sometimes stinging pain.
I do wear Reebok toning shoes when I go walking and sometimes when I go out. Also, I used to be very overweight and varicose veins is in my family’s genes. Could any of these be what is causing this?
Any answers are appreciated, thanks!
I’m 19 and yes, still overweight, but exercising and dieting.

I’ve had a sore on top of my foot since January! Opinions please!?

How it started:
I had a baby in 2008 with pre-existing vein issues in my left leg. I developed varicose veins during pregancy and they did not go away. I developed 2 very dark spots on the top of my left foot that over time began to look like shiny raised skin. Those 2 spots don’t look like varicose veins to me, but I was told by my OBGYN that they were caused by varicose veins.

Now here is my 4 month long dilemma: I have not worn high heels since 2007 when I got pregnant. I went out one time dancing all night in January this year wearing 4 inch heels and the VERY NEXT DAY, the dark spot on my foot no longer looked like a thick layer of shiny skin, it looked like an open sore. It started to form a scab and I thought nothing of it, I thought it would just heal like a normal sore.

But it won’t heal. I have bad circulation in my left leg and that leg will swell up if I’m on my feel too long (which is everyday due to work). Everytime the sore forms a scab, my foot ends up swelling up after a long day’s work and then the scab has split open and it hurts again. This has been going on for 4 months. I am alarmed at the fact that it is getting bigger. It started as the size of a pea, now it is the size of a dime. It is so painful sometimes that my pant leg brushing on it causes pain.

Does anyone know exactly what this is and what I can do? Will ice packs help? Support stockings? Topical treatments like ointments or herbs???

I really need advice for this. Thank you for reading my question.

This question is a little embarassing, but I am too shy to go to the doctor. I have recently discovered on the?

bottom of my butt cheek a varicose looking vein. I am really concerned because I am only 22 years old and have no other vein issues on my body. I have not ever heard of anyone getting varicose veins anywhere other than their legs or arms. I am wondering what would cause this to happen in such an unusual spot and if there is anything I can do.

Why do my legs have a constant dull pain? please help?

All of a sudden both legs have had a constant dull pain that makes me want to scream. It’s been going on for 2 weeks now. It never stops. I’m a healthy 32 women 5’6 120 lbs, I run or ran rather.. today I tried to do 3 miles and it hurt in my legs. It is not a muscle growing pain or shin splints. Something is going on. My feet hurt they feel kinda like swollen but aren’t. I’m concerned because I’ve had a PE and I didn’t know if this may cause another one. I wouldn’t have dvt because its the same in both legs. I have only 2 long varicose veins in the back of my legs and very thin ankles. It doesn’t help the pain when i raise my legs. Could it mean fibroids in uterus? I’m not pregnant, I’ve had 3 kids and my hubby has a vasomy. Please help me figure this out. I think I have low calcium but Ive started taking a multivitamin….?????
