varicous veins hurting my friend!

hey!
ok, im looking for some information of varicous veins. my mate has just been diagnosed with them (she has poor circulation due to diabetes), but its mostly in her left leg. she was told that she walked too much (she works outdoors) and this was damaging her legs, but if shes sitting in a lecture at uni her legs ache like mad after 30 minutes, and after an hour or so she cant feel her legs.
I was thinking that until she can get her GP to take her seriously (all he said was she must be doing something to damage her legs, and he cant trate them. she is trying to get a 2nd opinion of another GP, but her surgery is stupid and only lets u make appointments on the day u want one) could anybody recommend any thing which could help.
Massages? exercises? Creams?
Thanx

Walking too much? Don't think so - when walking the skeletal muscles in the legs force the blood back towards the heart - thereby reducing the damage to the valves and the poolingof the blood that causes varicose veins.
Think she needs a new doc....!
