Healing a Chronic Foot Wound and Restoring Daily Life
For this patient, chronic pain and a slow-healing wound on his left foot had begun to control everyday life. Persistent ulceration, leg fatigue, and claudication symptoms made it difficult to walk, stand for long periods, or complete normal daily activities. Despite ongoing care, healing was delayed, and discomfort remained constant.
Menos C. sought care at United Vein & Vascular Centers – Lake Worth, where testing revealed circulation issues contributing to his symptoms. He underwent a lower extremity arteriogram, followed by a repeat procedure to further address blood flow concerns. The goal was clear: restore circulation, relieve pain, and allow the wound to finally heal.
Following treatment, the changes were significant. His symptoms improved, his wound fully healed, and he was able to return to normal day-to-day activities without pain. He describes feeling like a “new person.” Walking no longer requires frequent rest, sleep is uninterrupted by leg pain or cramping, and wound care is no longer part of his daily routine.
Why His Story Matters
- Chronic wounds and leg pain are often linked to circulation problems, not just skin or foot issues
- Poor blood flow can delay healing and limit mobility if left untreated
- Minimally invasive vascular procedures can restore circulation and support wound healing
- Timely intervention helped him avoid ongoing pain, cramping, and daily wound care
- Comprehensive care at UVVC allowed him to regain comfort, independence, and confidence
