The heaviness, pulling sensation, and difficulty standing that you’re describing can commonly happen with progressing venous varicose vein issues, especially when symptoms start affecting daily activities. It would be best to get a proper vascular evaluation done so the exact severity and cause can be assessed early and managed correctly. A detailed consultation can help guide you regarding the right specialist, investigations, and next step options without unnecessary anxiety 👍

Since you have a diagnosis and seeking which Faculty of medicine would help you treat it best, then my first suggestion will be a vascular Surgeon and then a General Surgeon. Normally people get anxious hearing the name of a " Surgeon". Don't worry. Let them examine and assess the extent of your varicose veins. Then the treatment modality is determined.
Next Steps
In the mean time the easiest thing you can do is - Ice fermentation. take a bucket filled with ice water upto your calves. add an ice tray to normal temp water. it will be uncomfortable but it does give very good results.
also elevate your legs using pillows under your feet.
Health Tips
avoid prolonged standing.
