    Varicose veins

    I've been advised by my physio to have surgery / the procedure to have the varicose veins removed in my right leg. Looking on Bupa's website my main concern is not the cost, being able to run is literally price less but it does state no strenous activity for several weeks after the procedure. Anybody had their veins removed ? What was the recovery time ?

    I know this subject has been raised previously but no mention of the recovery time.

    Regards

    Scary subject Manhar, perhaps that's why you've had no replies?

    Think it's all done in a high tech fashion nowadays Wharfee.

    Decided to defer any possible operation / treatment as there is a 6 to 8 week recuperation period so will wait until Winter.
