Spider veins and developing varicose veins at 21 -- what to do?

I've had spider veins on my legs since I was probably 15 and the veins on my legs have been getting worse since then. It looks like I'm getting varicose veins. My legs hurt from bad circulation fairly often. It is just painful somedays, like today -- I just took an aspirin hoping that will help.
I used to work out 3 days a week at least and try to eat healthy so they don't hurt. The strengthening exercises helped drastically, but I haven't been able to find time to lift and do cardio as much since I went away to school with the way my schedule goes.
I've also started on birth control pills last fall because my cramps are absolutely horrible. I feel great with the Yaz right now, but I know that the higher estrogen levels can worsen it.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone had this similar of a problem at such a young age? Does insurance cover any treatment of them??

I would get support stocking they come up to your knees. They are $4.00 a pair at Wal-mart. They will help with the pain. They are for bad circulation. good luck

Stop crossing your legs when you sit.
