How To Avoid Varicose Veins And Pain In Knee?

I am 60years young, builder of 40yrs. My first pain started at my coxac about 9 months ago after doing sit ups on a decline bench. I find it hard to sit for long periods 1 or 2 hours . I have server pain behind my left knee & serve pain down the left side of my left leg. When I massage down my leg I can feel small lumps down my leg. Over the last 4yrs quite a lot of varicose veins have appeared. Please help. Frank

Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
if u have been diagnosed as a varicose veins,u should stop standing sitting for long periods at a stretch, use stockinettes full length of leg, if unrelieved get an doppler of the leg done. the knee pain usually is coz of radiating pain. if its severe get an mri knee done to rule out other possibilities. varicose veins are nowadays well cured with advanced laser treatment.Nothing to worry about.     
I hope your question has been answered.
