I have gone through the complaints and understand your concern.
Pain in these regions has multiple causes,varicose veins is one of them.
another possibility is due to nerve compression in back. Get her Xray and venous doppler done to confirm..
Nothing to worry about.

If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
