Varicose veins tend to recur very easily.

My groom is in his mid-40s and has already had two surgeries. It seems like the condition has recurred again. His leg feels very heavy, and he says he experiences cramping quite a bit. The veins are quite bumpy, but not to the point of being unsightly, although the symptoms feel exactly like after surgery. My groom's job involves repairing equipment, and he spends a lot of time standing, but I wonder if standing is the problem. He can't change jobs, so it's quite a dilemma. He says compression stockings are too uncomfortable for him to wear, but would another surgery be the answer?
