Recently I've been woken in the night with a pretty sharp pain in my rt thigh. Oddly, not a joint pain, seemed to be in the muscle, and only an area of a couple inches. I tried waiting it out, but it's hanging on and getting sharper and more reliable. (Yeah, I'm calling the doc on monday, need a physical and thyroid check anyway) When I showed DH the spot - by lamplight rather than daylight, it became obvious that I have pretty whopping varicosity there. Due to genetics and long houred-jobs totally on my feet, I've had some visible veins for years, but no discomfort, ever. Have any of you dealt with this?

I must say that it seems very unfair that NOW, when I'm taking such good care of myself and getting so fit, I'm aging ANYWAY!!
