I alternate with these Compression braces, I have a couple small spots on my calves where the varicose veins are painful, these braces help so much. I also wear compression socks with my shoes when we go to town to grocery shop or wander about walking the dogs by the river.
I do get up from my sewing chair or even my gaming chair if I am in the study quite often. In my sewing room the cutting table and ironing board are across the room, so I have to get up and walk.
