Question Varicosis

Hi all!
I used to play football professionally when I was young and I started to develop varicose veins in my left leg. After that, my doctor forbade me to put any weight on my legs at all and I was done with my sporting career. My new girlfriend is very keen on cycling. I bought a bike too and we go out for walks. I used to play football occasionally and had no problems, but now even after riding about 20km I feel discomfort because of my varicose veins. I use a special leg bandage. Can you tell me if anyone has experienced this and what are the solutions (ointments and so on)?
