Hi dear,
Most probably you are suffering from a condition called varicose vein.
Initially this is managed conservatively. If resistant, may need surgery.
Kindly see your doctor for evaluation.
Meanwhile avoid prolonged standing and walking.
Elastic stocking will help reliving pain and providing support to veins.
Take care.
Thank you.
