M.,
I, too, had major vein problems.. I had them before children, and they got worse and worse with every pregnancy. I finally got them "fixed" last year. I went to a dermotologist. It was 3 visits to have the procedures done. It's injections into the veins (he will close some.... apparently, we have plenty).... I won't lie, it wasn't pain-free... .it hurt...(but, I'm a baby). but, I'm thrilled with results. I hadn't worn shorts for many years, and didn't like wearing a bathing suit or short skirts before. Now, I do, and it's great!! definitely worth it! And, if they do hurt - you can get covered by insurance.!! good luck. let me know if you want my doc's name... he's in Westchester, but has an office in Elgin and Palos Hills, too.
Good luck!
