varicose vein pain

[emily_in_nc]

Just one more question for you...How long did you experience that "pulling sensation"?? Did it go away after 3 or 4 weeks??

Yes, I felt completely normal after three weeks and close to normal after two. The pulling sensation was mild. I could still take walks. It was just something I was aware of -- not really pain, just an odd sensation. The RN told me that it was more common in thin people, for some reason, and that not everyone feels it.

Good luck, and please do check back in after your surgery!
