That's interesting that you are able to move around a lot. Often, if the nerve is entrapped, moving makes it worse because the nerve can't glide freely between the ligaments. It makes a lot of sense that you would not want to risk surgery when you are able to do so many things. Before I had surgery, moving around caused so much pain I spent most of the time in bed, so surgery was worth the risk. Since ligaments don't seem to be the issue for you, just the varicose veins, I think if you do decide on surgery, you are smart to only be considering the type of surgery Lakhiani suggested with no cutting of the ligaments
