From Severe Leg Pain to Walking Comfortably Again
For this patient, leg pain had become overwhelming. She was dealing with extreme pain and weakness in her legs, to the point where she was falling and struggling to climb stairs. Everyday movement felt unsafe and exhausting, and walking without pain seemed out of reach.
Seeking answers, Lori D. came to United Vein & Vascular Centers – Batavia, where she underwent vein ablation treatment to address the underlying cause of her symptoms. The goal was to relieve the pain and weakness that were interfering with her mobility and daily life.
Following treatment, the improvement was clear. Lori reports that her leg pain is gone and that she’s now able to walk without discomfort. She’s moving more confidently around her home and walking better overall, without the fear of falling that once limited her independence.
Beyond the physical results, Lori describes her experience with the care team as extremely positive. She shared that her time with Dr. Harvey and the staff was wonderful, noting that the procedures were fast, calming, and painless. Feeling comfortable and reassured throughout treatment made a meaningful difference in her overall experience.
When asked what she would tell someone who’s unsure about coming to UVVC, Lori encourages them to take the first step by getting an ultrasound to determine whether vein disease is the source of their pain or weakness. For her, finding the cause led to real relief and a return to safe, comfortable movement.
