Why do I keep reading that varicose vien treatment is painless. I had laser treatment on both legs the most painful thing thing I' ve ever had done nhs

I did not realise the NHS still treated them.

i had laser treatment and injections a couple of months ago,had 4 smaller veins injected 2 days ago,totally pain free on both occassions,maybe you needed more local.

Did you manage to have them done on the NHS or was it self funded?

My doctor will not do anything about mine, he says unless it becomes critical I have to pay myself..
