why can't you massage varicose veins - #25595
I am really confused about something I've been dealing with for a while now. I have these varicose veins on my legs, and they’re pretty noticeable and painful sometimes. A friend told me that massaging them could help relieve some discomfort and improve blood flow, but then I heard from someone else that it’s not a good idea. Like, why can't you massage varicose veins? I mean, could it actually make things worse?? I’ve been trying to manage the pain with some home remedies but it feels like nothing really works! I’ve even tried elevating my legs, but with a full-time job and two kids, that’s easier said than done. I just want to find something safe 'cause the last thing I need is to make my situation worse. Is there any natural treatments or is massaging actually forbidden for a reason? I’m really hoping for some good advice here, this has been stressing me out way more than it should!
