Does anyone have any issues with swollen veins. I had a scary incident today when I felt like my vein in my leg wanted to pop. It was weird because it got swollen, painful and itchy at the same time. Does anyone know how to alleviate the pain that I am still feeling?

    Elevation/compression?

    Over time, weight loss does help.

    I've had them since I was 11. Yes, eleven, not a typo :( Elevation, compression, etc. does help. Massaging back towards the heart while elevated also feels good on my legs. Some day when I'm rich maybe I'll get them fixed!

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I really thought this issue was for older adults until they happened to me. I am 31 and I really dislike mine. I don't like to wear shorts because I feel embarrassed. I even thought that if I got a tan I could hide them....lol... Not happening... Well like you said maybe one day when I have money I can fix them too...
