I have very bad varicose veins on my calves. My right calf is way worse than my left. I went to a vein clinic and they said I need to have some sclerotherapy done as well as tiny things inserted into my legs to make my blood circulate. They said it just dumps off instead recirculating. I was unable to get this done due to finding out I was pregnant. I now have 5 beautiful girls. I am wondering if there are natural methods to help me? Apple cider vinegar doesn’t seem to do a thing even after months of using it. Has anyone ever done the silicone cupping?
After playing dr., it finally occurred to me to go see a vascular dr. So I went, and they said I have varicose veins. However, my severe leg cramps fluctuate from the right to the left. I was told that if I continue to have it in the right, this could be a kidney or cardio problem. The ultrasound indicated the right leg doesn't have any varicose veins. So I thought I'd pass along what I learned about me. Although your situation maybe very different.
