  Providing general advice is usually the first step in treating this condition. Placing the legs in the highest position possible is extremely important. The typical footstool or pouffe needs to be higher. The feet must be at least as high as the hips and even higher whenever possible. When the legs are in a higher position, the blood flowing up the legs is assisted by gravity. The individual needs to be careful not to injure the skin on anything, including furniture. […] The focus of the treatment is providing the individual with relief from their symptoms. According to the (AAD) American Academy of Dermatology, raising the legs is important. The recommendation is to elevate the legs every two hours for fifteen minutes. While sleeping, the legs should be placed on one or two pillows. […] Compression stockings are also referred to as compression hosiery. The stockings are effective because the pressure is applied outside the veins. The squeezing caused by the stockings pushes the blood back up the legs. This helps decrease the pressure within the veins. The blood can then be prevented from leaking into the surrounding tissues.
