Do Compression Stockings Help Prevent Varicose Veins?

RRAH
Do compression stockings really help with varicose veins? It seems to me they are making things worse. My veins are getting closer to the surface at much quicker speed than before. At loss on what to do. My appointment with my doctor for Varicose veins treatment is still on June 17th.
