Well, I've been to the doc and she confirms VV. She put me on 2 supplements - one has calcium, butcher's broom, horse chesnut and gotu kola, the other is nattokinase, an enzyme from soybeans. She's had good results with other patients. I'm also rubbing the area with the tiger balm analgesic cream before bed. I'm looking on the bright side - I don't have to limit activity at all!

I think I will start to investigate surgery - see if I can find other women in my area who had it, etc.

I also bought a vit K cream for leg massage - figure it can't hurt, and I like to moisturize alot any way. Now that I'm paying attention, my legs are quite the road map...on the other hand, they are very, very strong legs.
