    Has anyone had vericose veins removed?
    What was it like? Painful? What was recovery like? Did the vein disappear?

    My mother has. She said it was painfull and it did go away to an extent however I think but am unsure that she still has discomfort occasionally. (she told me to not bother and to just put up with it however mine isn't very bad)

    A friend just had a varicose vein removed earlier this week. She was stitched, has a bandage that she can't get wet, has to stand up and walk around for 20 minutes every hour, wears on that leg a non-roll support stocking (which she says, is wonderful!), takes OTC pain meds that her doctor approved, every day has improved. She can't wait to wear shorts this summer!
