These red veins are spreading on my thighs. Doctor’s appointment is far away. What can I do in the meantime?.

Here’s a comprehensive plan—essentially a “recipe” for care—until you can see your doctor.

Step 1: Support circulation daily
Elevate your legs – Raise them above heart level for 10–15 minutes, several times a day. This helps drain pooled blood and reduce pressure in leg veins.

Move frequently – If you sit a lot, stand up and stretch every 30–45 minutes. If you stand a lot, sit and elevate occasionally.

Gentle walking – Walking pumps the calf muscles, which act like a second heart, pushing blood back up.

Step 2: Wear compression stockings
