Hello, from what you are telling me it seems like you have got varicose veins. It occurs in people who do long standing jobs and thus the veins in legs swell up with long course. You might need to show to your general surgeon or vascular surgeon for proper examination and treatment. Meanwhile you can put compression bandage stockings for your appropriate size on both legs whenever you go out or have to work standing. It will help to compress the veins and keep the pain reduced. Thank you
