I had varicose vain surgery around 10 years ago. Over the last 6-12 months they have returned and are worse now than before. I read online that new treatments are now available for varicose vains, that are better and do not involve surgery.
I scheduled an appointment with my doctor today and he told me bluntly that varicose vain treatment is no longer available on the NHS! I'm furious.
I am on my feet all day with my job, and my legs ache so much! How can the NHS cut back on funding for this!?

Did you hear what the lady said she doesn't have the money to go back to the doctor

Thats ridiculous. Why does it have to become a medical problem, before something is done??? I mean we talk £1500 per treatment and it can even get more. I don't understand why this is not taken more serious.
