If doctors have reviewed you and told you that it's not varicose, then you must believe them. Anyway, varicose veins are dilated & tortuous veins. Early management includes wearing compression stockings. Elevate legs by keeping feet over pillows while sleeping. Avoid prolong standing.
For your satisfaction, consult a vascular surgeon.
Thanks
