[|Human|] g.evening, i am a live in carer for a 100 yr lady. i have to lift her in and out of bed, for she refuses to use a hoist. i am experiencing terrible back ache and developed painful varicose veins around my ankles and legs. is tere any treatment or exercise to relieve this?
[|AI|]  Hi there. First and foremost I would advise you to stop lifting the patient like the way you do. That is the most dangerous thing you can do to your back. Stopping this will relieve most of your pain. Take some time off and get ample of rest for back pain recovery. An anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxant like Etoricoxib-MR will aid. As for your curiosities.....start wearing Venous Stockings at all times. Calf pumping exercises are the best. In extreme cases if all remedies fail then surgical stripping of veins if the only resort. I hope my advice has helped Good luck
