Hi I think I have varicose veins. It looks like one runs across the back of my knee and is causing a lot of throbbing pain.

Hello. Thanks for writing to us. A full length compression stockings are recommended for relief. If these are not helping and the pain and swelling are persistent then you can consider the surgical treatment. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
