Condition made worse by my current job, what should i do about it?!

Condition made worse by my current job, what should i do about it?

i have varicose veins and i know the job i am doing is making them worse. i did have most removed from one leg, but was warned that i have weak veins and more have begun to appear. i am covered by the disability descrimination act as the condition affects the work that i can do, my employer took on board my condition and offered me the job with an unpaid 15 minute break (i work 4 hours per shift, 3 shifts per week). but could not offer me a stool or seat at the till point as they said it would breach health and safety. what i want to know is should they be doing more? should they be giving me a paid break? i'm considering going to the doctor but have a feeling that he will say that i need a 10 minute break every hour (my employer would prob. only offer these unpaid as the company cannot even afford to pay overtime, and there would no point me keeping the job). or he will tell me to leave (which i don't mind doing if i have a good enough reason, as health comes before work).

before you ask why i took a standing job, it was because as it was only 12 hours a week and they offered me a break. after being long term unemployed because of the condition i thought it would be stupid to turn down new experiences. and i didn't think it would affect them the way that it has. any help or advice would be grateful (i have already looked at the direct.gov information and the disability rights commission webdsite, but did not find the answers i was looking for)

oh, i forgot to state that i can't wear support hoisery as i am allergic to them. i even had the medical grade ones.

The first thing you need to do is go get a good pair of support stockings at the drug store. You do not need extra breaks you need support stockings from the drug store and a good pair of work shoes from a brick an mortar type shoe store where they actually measure your feet and fit you for shoes.
