Great video. Just a question ? Should we train legs with weights or should we avoid weight lifting all together ? Do weight lifting make things worse ? ? Should i stop working out my legs in short ? Also i like walk barefoot at home, should i stop that ? I like hiking also as a way of training .... should i stop going hard with hiking ? Will make things worse ?
The video is informative, helpful, and appreciated. I would like to know if you know or believe that the damaged valves in the veins can regenerate and heal over time with a generally rejuvenating noninflammatory diet, and appropriate exercises ( stretching and straightening of lower legs,etc.) I may also try horse chestnut or oak bark compresses.
I’ve never been overweight. I’m an exercise physiologist and yoga teacher, I used to teach aerobics and indoor cycle classes. I’m fit and active person who eats a healthy diet. My weight, at age 59 and a half, is the same as it was at 19. I don’t sit all day. My brother had his varicose veins stripped out in his 20’s. My Mother developed veinous ulcers, and I feel lucky that mine didn’t show up until now. Just wanted to say that it’s not always an unhealthy lifestyle that’s causing issues.
@@DrTomBiernacki I appreciate your videos. The weird thing is, every doctor says that the best way to prevent varicose veins is to stop being sedentary and overweight - but when I ask am I overweight - well, they know I’m not. So they are just repeating something from the textbook instead of looking at the patient. One of the veins around my ankle has gotten really uncomfortable- it’s the place that was damaged after a skydiving accident. So I’m going to have sclerotherapy on that one and a few others.
Same here varicose vein doesn’t have anything to do with bad life style. I am in my sixties, very active and healthy, same weight as in my twenties but I have spider veins and I hate them going to remove them very soon…

Since you asked, I wish you'd spent more time specifically addressing spider veins or done a completely separate video about it. At 50 I haven't got varicose veins but I have several unslightly spider veins. The first 45 years of my life I was within normal weight range, except with each of my 3 pregnancies during my 20`s when I gained 45-50 lbs each time. With the added weight and a desk job, it was then that I got my first spider veins, but I easily got back down to normal weight after each pregnancy. The last 5 years or so, with perimenopause and Hashimoto's I have put on an extra 20 lbs that I'm having hard time taking off, however I haven't got any new spider veins in many years, just the ones from my 20`s and pregnancies. Anyway, it was hard to distinguish whether what you were talking about was with regard to varicose or spider veins and if the solutions you talked about would actually make them disappear, which is what I desperately want because they're hideous. It is my understanding that varicose veins and spider veins are 2 different things, so I'd appreciate a thorough discussion about treatments to remedy specifically spider veins separate from varicose. Thanks!
I was wondering if they were the same as well. My mom had HUGE green bean pod veins which she had removed in 1977. The spider ones were still there but the intense pain from all the years of walking thousands of miles in the Amazon and before that across Europe were minimized. I still remember her praising Dr. Yamaguchi. I inherited he left leg. 😥
You didn't have any symptoms with the spider veins..?I have spider veins but ony left feet down are varicose veins.I feel heavy my legs, especially going up the stairs..For me also is not clear this video, doesn't specifically explain when a treatment is necessary before any ulcers or phlebitis.Venus insufficiency does not require any treatment for varicose or spider veins?
This video is INCREDIBLE. Packed full of extremely valuable information for an issue that I have had for most of my adult life but continues to get worse. However, I have been an avid exerciser all of my life so that may be what has prevented it from getting worse than it is. I am now in my 60s and the discoloration (minor) on my shins has started which is not something I have had before. Just such valuable advice and reinforcement for me to go see our vein doctor!
Thank you. In just this one video you have given me more integrated overview of what causes varicose veins and methods for alleviating the problem than everything else I’ve found. I’d never made the connection between walking around my house barefoot during the Covid years and venous insufficiency in my calves and feet. All your advice is helpful and your presentation inspiring. Terrific video!

My various veins disappeared 3 weeks after taking 30,000 IUs of Vitamin D3, now I am on 20,000 IUs as my kidney began to ache which means reduce the dose till it stops aching. But the veins are disappearing, muscles are feeling stronger (heart), white dots on my arms are fading and my skin is regenerating.

Great informative video! My doctor sent me to a dermatologist for a bruise that did not go away. She suggested supportive socks. She said t hat she wears them all of the time. But for me, they are too hot during the summer. As an alternative, I like wearing my leggings which are still supportive but are only one layer and some have mesh panels that make them cooler. But she did not tell me everything that you have. The bruise was from repeated injury to the same area that did not go away. Also, my lower leg is sensitive. However, walking and exercise does help! I like the message and stretches are a good idea! I will try that too! I will look at your walking shoes and slipers for summer. Thank you for the advice!

Some people have ‘hidden varicose veins’ and yes it is well worth getting the treatment as long as it is the appropriate professional treating them with the correct procedures. I know because I have been through the lot and some doctors have little idea what they are talking about.

I'm starting to get spider veins on my legs. I though it was just genes, because my mom had them really bad but when I look at her poor lifestyle and horrible diet, I think has contributed more than just genes. I sit a lot in my job and I think this, my poor SAD diet, and lack of exercise has caused mine to appear. But I think working out, especially targeting the legs by doing sprints resistance training will improve things. Better diet too. I do wear compression socks and that seems to help. I truly believe that taking care of one's legs can add many more precious years to live. Legs is life!
I was hoping you would have given more advice regarding how to treat spider veins . I have lost weight and I do walk regularly however this has not changed my spider veins, I do have high BP that is controlled by medication , I also have suffered with a disease called Endometriosis for many years and I recently read that suffering from inflammation in your pelvic area can cause spider veins too, I wonder if you can advice if this is correct ? Also can you advice anything else that I can try as I really don’t want to have surgery however I really want to get. Rid of these as it has such an affect on my confidence. Thank you for your help.
Try yoga, get in the sun or take vitamin d, vitamin d is important for blood flow, get a good massage, make hot and cold showers, drink green tea with lemon, stay alive 😂

Hey this was good! As a former daily runner for 20 years, I knew most of these tricks. Unfortunately I have genetic varicose veins and flat feet. Now that I am older my veins have become painful.

Question... I got my varicose veins after losing weight. I know doctors say you just don't see them until you lose weight, but I didn't lose that much! Like 20 lbs and my legs didnt lose that much fat. Very odd. All sorts of veins started popping out all over my legs. Within a few month period.

Thank you. I have been dealing with varicose veins this for 3 years only on my right leg below the knee and last 1-1/2 years has been hell. Trying the leg pump but not working. Currently using compression socks. Will consider the ablation before the year is up. I’m 55 210-215lbs 5’8 unfortunately I’m an outside salesman and traveling around Texas and Oklahoma Let me tell you it sucks! I’m hoping that takes care of my issue. Thanks for the video
Mick, ouch, that is tough for sure! We really hope you feel better soon. Compression socks are not easy to wear in hot climate of Oklahoma and Texas..

For sure, usually foot, ankle and leg pain comes down to repeated stress over and over ans over. I have seen 1000s of people with their varicose veins removed, but pain not necessarily any better due to the underlying causes still being there
A stumble upon and grateful for it. Great presentation, explanation, and integration of information and direction. Inspirational and motivating. The joke was good. Thank you!

I went to shop your links (BTW Thank you SO much for the recommendations!) and I noticed a few running shoes from Brooks in the recommended list for men but none in the recommended running shoe list for women. Is that because their line for women isn’t as good? Asking as a woman with bunions who usually needs a Wide fit.
@Kyrie Dara me too! I’m 45 not overweight am a slim build and eat very healthy. I don’t spend hours on my feet or constantly lifting heavy things. There is no explanation or help. Arms and hands are so affected that it’s embarrassing and affects my self-esteem to the point I always cover up NOT cosmetic 😢

What about laser treatments on varicose veins? Is it effective? Does it render results for venous insufficiency? Or is it solely a cosmetic removal of the unsightly veins? Any consequence?

@@DrTomBiernacki Oh for sure. I just subscribed to your channel now. I just love how you explain things so simply so we can all understand. And I also love the pictures as well that go with the medical issues you are talking about in your videos. Nice. 💖💖💖💖💖
How come these Dr's here in Milwaukee don't take this stuff seriously? I am almost 37, have done mostly labor jobs, and I think I have developed osteoarthritis along w/the spider veins. These Dr's just wna Rx meds and bye! My right inner ankle is inflamed by the end of the day and it connects the pain up to my outer knee going up to my hip. Is that a blood clot or my joints?
I can see, you don't eat: raw garlic and onion and you don't eat raw vegetable. You eat plenty of carbs including sugar and milk and all its products, aren't you? This is the result.
I have had varicose veins since I was in my early 20's. Had 3 x surgery, last one about 12 years ago. I was always fit and active and a good weight till about 10 years ago. In my late 40s now and the varicose veins have started to appear on my thigh. They are ugly and I can't remember the last time I went bare legged. I have worn compression stockings, exercised, nothing seems to have worked. I have been left with thick scarring where they made the incisions on the back of my knee during the 3 surgeries. It's funny because it's only in one leg too, like you said.
Everyone is different, but I almost always see varicose veins in the tighter, stiffer, or previously injured leg. This is usually the leg that has to work harder (as a result of surgery, rehab, or prior injury). The more weight, age, stiffness, poor shoe support, and lack of exercise are added, the more likely it is to have swelling and varicose veins. But again, this is not 100% for everyone.
@@DrTomBiernacki I also have joint hypermobility and suffer a lot with joint pain, repetitive strain injuries, bursitis and now arthritis. Doctor told me early onset varicose veins are more common in those with joint hypermobility, especialky those with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Though I haven't been tested fir Ehlers, I do have a lot of the problems associated with it like varicose veins, hernias, recurrent sprains, strains and dislocations. Anyway, I enjoy your videos, thanks for uploading.

Hi Doc @Michigan Foot Doctors . I didn't know that blood clots were also an issue associated with this. It has got me immensely worried. Is it fairly probable outcome of varicose veins or a scarce one ? Thanks

Lol.. I didn’t find the first joke funny. I see a vein in my inner right calf. My main issue is that I run three to miles per day for six days and I can feel a pain in that area. I can’t stop working out though.
Could use HSA, health spending account for compression socks. Just realized my socks that I have been wearing for a couple of decades due to varicose veins stopped in my 40's

Hi Doc, great show. I have an incomplete anterior SCI @ c5-6 . I still can walk etc but am limited. Can this injury interfere with the function of these valves? I should mention I have Autonomic dysreflexia as a result of the injury. Thanks in advance Eric
I wish you had addressed pregnancy more. Also, varicose veins seem to run families. I’ve had mine since I was 30 and I’ve always been healthy and never overweight. It seems like my pregnancies have aggravated my veins worse each time. Friendly feedback- didn’t need the images of making healthy food choices especially taking pizza away from the kid. It was a little fat shaming.

My various veins disappeared 3 weeks after taking 30,000 IUs of Vitamin D3, now I am on 20,000 IUs as my kidney began to ache which means reduce the dose till it stops aching. But the veins are disappearing, muscles are feeling stronger (heart), white dots on my arms are fading and my skin is regenerating.
So this treatment helps with spiderviens
Really? How much vitamin d3 should be taken per day? Thank you for your advice
VERY GOOD INFORMATION. THANK YOU

Great informative video! My doctor sent me to a dermatologist for a bruise that did not go away. She suggested supportive socks. She said t hat she wears them all of the time. But for me, they are too hot during the summer. As an alternative, I like wearing my leggings which are still supportive but are only one layer and some have mesh panels that make them cooler. But she did not tell me everything that you have. The bruise was from repeated injury to the same area that did not go away. Also, my lower leg is sensitive. However, walking and exercise does help! I like the message and stretches are a good idea! I will try that too! I will look at your walking shoes and slipers for summer.
Thank you for the advice!

Some people have ‘hidden varicose veins’ and yes it is well worth getting the treatment as long as it is the appropriate professional treating them with the correct procedures. I know because I have been through the lot and some doctors have little idea what they are talking about.
Eve, you are a great fan, and we appreciate you!
You are correct - because of specialization some doctors are specifically trained in treatment of varicose veins.

I'm starting to get spider veins on my legs. I though it was just genes, because my mom had them really bad but when I look at her poor lifestyle and horrible diet, I think has contributed more than just genes. I sit a lot in my job and I think this, my poor SAD diet, and lack of exercise has caused mine to appear. But I think working out, especially targeting the legs by doing sprints resistance training will improve things. Better diet too. I do wear compression socks and that seems to help. I truly believe that taking care of one's legs can add many more precious years to live. Legs is life!
I was hoping you would have given more advice regarding how to treat spider veins . I have lost weight and I do walk regularly however this has not changed my spider veins, I do have high BP that is controlled by medication , I also have suffered with a disease called Endometriosis for many years and I recently read that suffering from inflammation in your pelvic area can cause spider veins too, I wonder if you can advice if this is correct ? Also can you advice anything else that I can try as I really don’t want to have surgery however I really want to get. Rid of these as it has such an affect on my confidence. Thank you for your help.
Try yoga, get in the sun or take vitamin d, vitamin d is important for blood flow, get a good massage, make hot and cold showers, drink green tea with lemon, stay alive 😂

Hey this was good! As a former daily runner for 20 years, I knew most of these tricks. Unfortunately I have genetic varicose veins and flat feet. Now that I am older my veins have become painful.

Question... I got my varicose veins after losing weight. I know doctors say you just don't see them until you lose weight, but I didn't lose that much! Like 20 lbs and my legs didnt lose that much fat. Very odd. All sorts of veins started popping out all over my legs. Within a few month period.
Mine too!
Thanks. Very helpful!
I didnt know Adam Corolla was a doc too

Thank you. I have been dealing with varicose veins this for 3 years only on my right leg below the knee and last 1-1/2 years has been hell. Trying the leg pump but not working. Currently using compression socks. Will consider the ablation before the year is up. I’m 55 210-215lbs 5’8 unfortunately I’m an outside salesman and traveling around Texas and Oklahoma
Let me tell you it sucks! I’m hoping that takes care of my issue.
Thanks for the video
Mick, ouch, that is tough for sure! We really hope you feel better soon. Compression socks are not easy to wear in hot climate of Oklahoma and Texas.. Just make sure to see a podiatrist in the future if your problem continues.

Horse chestnut is a good option as well as rutin, but realistically good supportive footgear, shoes and insoles as well are #1

What do you think of Varithena treatment? Is it safe? I just went to a Vascular Doctor who gave me a comprehensive ultrasound on my legs and diagnosed me with varicose veins. He highly recommended Varithena to get rid of them. Thank you! A great video!

Thanks sooo much..for this..it is alot of hoopla I can tell you..
For sure, usually foot, ankle and leg pain comes down to repeated stress over and over ans over. I have seen 1000s of people with their varicose veins removed, but pain not necessarily any better due to the underlying causes still being there
A stumble upon and grateful for it. Great presentation, explanation, and integration of information and direction. Inspirational and motivating. The joke was good. Thank you!

Any medication for varicose vein
Loved the content
I went to shop your links (BTW Thank you SO much for the recommendations!) and I noticed a few running shoes from Brooks in the recommended list for men but none in the recommended running shoe list for women. Is that because their line for women isn’t as good? Asking as a woman with bunions who usually needs a Wide fit.
Get them for women as well, they are amazing! This is just a list of 5 really good ones.
@@DrTomBiernacki Okay Thank you! I appreciate the clarification and free information that you share! It’s inspiring me to take better care of myself!
my varicose veins are on my hands. when i put my hand down side it shows all the blue veins but when i raised it up they disappear.
@Kyrie Dara me too! I’m 45 not overweight am a slim build and eat very healthy. I don’t spend hours on my feet or constantly lifting heavy things. There is no explanation or help. Arms and hands are so affected that it’s embarrassing and affects my self-esteem to the point I always cover up NOT cosmetic 😢
My experience with avionics is zero cushion and I truly blame them for my Achilles tendinitis. I have evaluated their slippers
Commendable! Awesome video!🌹👏

@@DrTomBiernacki Oh for sure. I just subscribed to your channel now. I just love how you explain things so simply so we can all understand. And I also love the pictures as well that go with the medical issues you are talking about in your videos. Nice. 💖💖💖💖💖
How come these Dr's here in Milwaukee don't take this stuff seriously? I am almost 37, have done mostly labor jobs, and I think I have developed osteoarthritis along w/the spider veins. These Dr's just wna Rx meds and bye! My right inner ankle is inflamed by the end of the day and it connects the pain up to my outer knee going up to my hip. Is that a blood clot or my joints?
I can see, you don't eat: raw garlic and onion and you don't eat raw vegetable. You eat plenty of carbs including sugar and milk and all its products, aren't you?
This is the result.
We don't have brook but we do have miles and lots of other brands for more money in Canada
I have had varicose veins since I was in my early 20's. Had 3 x surgery, last one about 12 years ago. I was always fit and active and a good weight till about 10 years ago. In my late 40s now and the varicose veins have started to appear on my thigh. They are ugly and I can't remember the last time I went bare legged. I have worn compression stockings, exercised, nothing seems to have worked. I have been left with thick scarring where they made the incisions on the back of my knee during the 3 surgeries. It's funny because it's only in one leg too, like you said.
Everyone is different, but I almost always see varicose veins in the tighter, stiffer, or previously injured leg. This is usually the leg that has to work harder (as a result of surgery, rehab, or prior injury). The more weight, age, stiffness, poor shoe support, and lack of exercise are added, the more likely it is to have swelling and varicose veins. But again, this is not 100% for everyone.
Thanks for sharing your story!
@@DrTomBiernacki I also have joint hypermobility and suffer a lot with joint pain, repetitive strain injuries, bursitis and now arthritis. Doctor told me early onset varicose veins are more common in those with joint hypermobility, especialky those with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Though I haven't been tested fir Ehlers, I do have a lot of the problems associated with it like varicose veins, hernias, recurrent sprains, strains and dislocations. Anyway, I enjoy your videos, thanks for uploading.

Hi Doc @Michigan Foot Doctors .
I didn't know that blood clots were also an issue associated with this.
It has got me immensely worried.
Is it fairly probable outcome of varicose veins or a scarce one ?
Thanks

I would appreciate if you sent a clear picture of where to order and how much.
Hi doctor I am a mother and I had these Varicose too and my legs are hart’s soo much
Could use HSA, health spending account for compression socks. Just realized my socks that I have been wearing for a couple of decades due to varicose veins stopped in my 40's

Wow ... I am also with this SAME condition. 😢
Hello doctor i am from Uganda and I have some problems with my left leg
I want your help pleas
What if you are born with it?
I wish you had addressed pregnancy more. Also, varicose veins seem to run families. I’ve had mine since I was 30 and I’ve always been healthy and never overweight. It seems like my pregnancies have aggravated my veins worse each time.
Friendly feedback- didn’t need the images of making healthy food choices especially taking pizza away from the kid. It was a little fat shaming.
