Has/Does anyone suffer with a collapsed vein?

[polo_princess]

Probably a bit of a longshot but i was wondering if anybody else suffered with this?

OH has quite a big vein that's collapsed in his leg and its very sore, esp plays up in the colder weather.

He's seen the doc but they are reluctant to do anything unless absolutley necessary because removing the entire vein from the leg puts pressure on the remaining veins.

I get him to keep his leg up and rested in the evenings and ive brought him a support bandage which he usually puts on when he gets up in the morning for a few hours.

For anyone who has/had this did you find anything that helped?
