My doctor told me to walk. Here's a guy that thinks everything can be cured through walking. Nevermind I've walked from here to Timbuktu and back, stopped smoking, and keep my feet up. Yet, the backs my lower legs still look like they're about to burst sometimes. I try to go 20-30 minutes a day. Am I overdoing it, or is it as Hank Azaria asks; "If walking's such great exercise, why does my mail man look like the harmonica player from Blues Traveler?"-Before the stomach stapling.

The walks are for preventing new varicose veins not for eliminating the ones you already have. If you want to eliminate them you have to treat them. There are different treatments that go from injections to surgery. Ask your doctor what option is better for you.

if they are really bad, then walking will not help. you have to get them stripeed, lazered or radioed waved , at the very least saline injected to get rid of them, they really arent working anymore when they are purple like that.
