Any advice on how to boost circulation in lower legs?

[purplepixie1978]

Hi ladies,

I have yucky varicose veins happening in my lower legs and am finding them quite painful. Am I able to get foot/leg massages? Is there anything I can do/take to help? At this point I don't care about the cosmetic side of things (although they look AWFUL) - I am just finding it increasingly painful to be on my feet for any length of time.

Thanks in advance.

A massage place probably won't do feet - I tried a Chinese massage place with ds1 and they would give me feet a massage at about 35-36 weeks from memory & I really really wanted one as my feet were killing me even when being put up a lot. Apparently there's trigger points in feet that may bring on labour/BH/contractions.

Compression stockings should help. Talk to a pharmacist about getting properly fitted ones.
