I've had them since my early 30's and spider veins too. I feel like an old lady in a 37 yr old body. I'm so ashamed to be seen in shorts. Even capris wouldn't make me feel good because the spider veins are all over my feet too. It's getting hot now and everyone else is enjoying summer but me because all I wear is pants.

They can be removed and insurance will pay for it if they are causing pain & discomfort. You are also at risk for blood clots and deep vein thrombosis (DVT)--another reason to get them removed. There are vein clinics that specialize in this. I knwo how you feel--my mom had really awful ones. Little ones can be treated with laser.

When I turned 28 I already had been in pain, embarrassed, and scared of becoming pregnant. I didn't want my big blue varicose veins to get worse. The All Natural Varicose & Spider Vein Solution program was an easy read and easy to do. Within 21 days there was a big difference in how my legs looked and I can wear shorts without feeling embarrassed. I feel so much better with more energy and for giving me back a healthier body, and the legs that a 28 year old should have.

I am 38 and have had a huge varicose vein on the back of my left leg for about 20 years. I had no such qualms about it being there and couldn't care less if anyone saw it.
However, in the last 5-6 months it started "bubbling" up in one spot and causing a lot of tightness and throbbing, so this scared me into looking around for a vein doctor even though I have no health insurance and tight money. This is what I found out: I was told by one doctor I should have surgery ($2200 doctor/$5000-6000 hospital fees) and another doctor's office said they did injections only (about $1800). I asked the first doctor if she did injections ($350 per injection), and it turns out she does but doesn't recommend it because it can be short term and may show up again. Hmmm...no brainer here, I chose to take my chances and pay the first doctor for injections only. That was 3 weeks ago for my first injection. I saw the doctor a week later for a checkup, she said I didn't need another injection and it's healing nicely and I'll see her again a couple of weeks for another checkup.
The effects are immediate and there's no break in your day after the injections.
So Girlfriend, here's my advice drawn from experience: make some calls and check the doctor's references to make sure they are reputable. If you don't have insurance, tell them up front; some doctors will actually give you a discount if they don't have to deal with an insurance company. Don't wait until you're scared into it because it really can be a health risk if you wait too long.

Have you been to a Doctor?. You can have them taken care of medically. If they are painful that should be taken care of by your Insurance. Lots of people have this procedure. You probably have a job where you are on your feet all day.
