Hello, firstly i will advise you to avoid standing for longer time as due to gravity blood gets retained in veins of lower limb. Leg elevation can be done while sitting or while lying down i.e you can keep your leg over a chair in front of your sit or while lying you can keep a single pillow below the legs. Crepe bandage is used while awake and while lying down it should be removed. Homoeopathy has good medicines over it, if you wish u may consult me.

Dear lybrate-user, 1) The height of the legs should be such that the blood does not accumulate in the legs, so above chest level. 2) when sleeping, it is preferable that you do not use any bandage, since normal circulation to the rest of the leg should become normal. 3) depends on how large and disfigured the varicose veins are, you can extend the time. It should be done only to reduce the accumulation, but not all the time. 4) bandages is ok when you need to be standing or walking for long hours. At your age, 26, if you are going to be doing all this, it will be difficult for you to enjoy any outing. Please see lasertherapy. Co.in There are options that can help you recover to a great extent from varicose veins. Regards.
