Subject: RE: Varicose vein and running I have varicose veins. I've had them since I was 13 years old.
I had the concern about running with them as well. I've had 2 surgeries, one which they went in through the groin on both sides and one when I was awake. I prefer to be asleep during these surgeries! I will have to have more in the future. I get more sore after standing around for 8+ hours than from running to be honest.
I use cep socks to run. They are as close to medical grade I can find and they come I pretty colours. I don't know if I will ever do a marathon or full ironman with my veins but I'd like to try a 70.3. I've run a few half marathons and 10ks without any issues. You should be fine to start running again if u have concerns talk to the specialist. Everyone will tell u running is bad, but I think weight gain is worse on them.
