For Menos C., everyday activities had slowly become exhausting and painful. A chronic ulcer on his left foot refused to heal, leaving him dealing with constant discomfort, leg fatigue, and claudication symptoms that made walking or standing for extended periods difficult. Even simple daily tasks required careful planning around pain, rest, and ongoing wound care.
Despite ongoing care, healing remained frustratingly slow. The persistent wound and circulation-related symptoms began to affect not just his mobility, but his overall quality of life. Like many patients with chronic wounds, Menos was facing a problem that went deeper than the surface.
Identifying the Root Cause
Menos sought care at United Vein & Vascular Centers – Lake Worth, where his care team focused on identifying the underlying cause of his symptoms rather than just treating what was visible. Diagnostic testing revealed circulation issues in his lower extremity that were interfering with proper healing and contributing to pain, fatigue, and difficulty walking.
To address these concerns, Menos underwent two lower extremity arteriograms, followed by a vein procedure to further improve blood flow. The goal was clear: restore circulation, relieve symptoms, and give his body the ability to heal.
Life After Treatment
The changes following treatment were significant. As circulation improved, Menos experienced relief from the symptoms that had controlled his daily routine for so long. His chronic foot wound fully healed, eliminating the need for daily wound care and constant monitoring.
“I feel like a new person,” he shared.
He can now walk without frequent rest, stand for longer periods, and sleep through the night without leg pain or cramping. Activities that once felt difficult or impossible are now part of his normal day-to-day life again.
A Care Experience Built on Trust
Throughout his treatment journey, Menos felt supported by his care team. He described the staff at UVVC as professional, thorough, and friendly, sharing that he always felt comfortable and well cared for. That trust, combined with clear communication and attentive care, helped make the process feel manageable and reassuring from start to finish.
Looking back, Menos remains grateful for both his outcome and the team that helped make it possible. He encourages others who may be undecided about seeking care to take the next step, noting that his condition improved significantly after treatment and that choosing UVVC was the right decision.
At United Vein & Vascular Centers, stories like Menos’s reflect the importance of comprehensive vascular care, specifically, care that looks beyond symptoms to address circulation health, support healing, and help patients return to living life with greater comfort and confidence.
