I actually had surgery for varicose veins last year, and it's been a bit of a journey. My doctor suggested wearing stockings to help with recovery, and I've been following that advice. I haven't taken any medication since the surgery, and I've been feeling pretty good overall.
I'm not sure if having had this surgery will affect my Canada PR, but I'm hoping for the best. It's always a bit nerve-wracking dealing with these kinds of things, but I'm staying positive.
Also, I recently came across some information about spider vein removal and it got me thinking. I might look into it further, and I found this website,
markmedicalcare.com, that seems to have some good information.
