Aug 22, 2014

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Varicose veins may be deep, and because you're obese, they may not be visible to you becausethey may be hhidden underneath fat layers. Obesity by itself imposes mechanical stress on your legs and may produce pain, and in case of varicose veins, obesity exacerbates the condition.
You uric acid value is still within normal (normal range 4-8.5 in adult males).
In any case, you are advised to lose weight (diet+ daily exercise for a minimum of 30 uninterrupted minutes) and check with a vascular surgeron to see if indeed you have varicose veins.
