AB A  44-year-old  man  presents  with  a  5-year  history  of  progressive  right  lower  extremity  pain,  discomfort,  swelling  and  prominent  calf  veins  (Figure  63-1).  His  symptoms  occur  daily,  and  are  worse  with  standing,  particularly  during  his  job  as  a  nurse  working  12-hour  shifts  in  the  emergency  department.  Overnight  his  symptoms  improve.  He  has  no  other  known  past  medical  history,  including  that  of  venous  thromboembolism.  He  is  interested  in  an  intervention  to  improve  his  quality  of  life.  Physical  examination  is  notable  only  for  large  medial  calf  varicose  veins  and  mild  pitting  edema  around  the  ankle.
