What Causes Swelling In Veins After Using Compression Stockings?

I have had varicose veins for over 10 years, I am 30 years old. I have had two children in the past three years, and I just recently experienced a problem with the veins. One vein has scanned, it became swollen after my compression stockings bunched, and has now scanned. What should I do? It is more painful than before, but still only a 2 on a scale of 10 regarding the amount of pain.... do I need to schedule an emergency appointment?
