I have had varicose veins for the last 20 years and use stockings, ointments, and leg elevation, but still have severe pain while walking. A doctor suggested laser treatment, but I am unsure if it gives permanent relief. What is the best long-term treatment for varicose veins?

Continue using compression stockings and leg elevation to manage symptoms and support vein health.
