I accompanied my mom to her doctor yesterday when she voiced her discomfort with some protruding veins in her legs. Just as I perceived, the docotr confirmed it to be varicose veins. She was then adviced to:
* exercise her legs regularly (jogging, walking, cycling)
* avoid prolonged sitting or standing
* avoid wearing overly tight socks, hose or boots
* wear 1inched-heeled shoes, and avoid flats, sneakers, high-heeled or thin-
soled shoes
* keep her weight down
