Walking Farther, Feeling Stronger, and Loving the Results
For Joann R., walking gradually became exhausting. Whenever she tried to walk for any length of time, her legs would begin to feel unbearably heavy, “like lead bricks,” as she describes it. The fatigue made it hard to keep moving and often forced her to stop before she wanted to, limiting everyday activities and independence.
Joann came to United Vein & Vascular Centers in Downers Grove, where she received multiple injection treatments in both legs to address the underlying vein issues contributing to her symptoms.
Following treatment, she noticed a clear improvement. She’s now able to walk farther without stopping or feeling like she has to drag her legs along. Her legs feel lighter and stronger, and tasks that once felt difficult, like walking upstairs or staying active longer, are now much easier. She shared that she simply doesn’t tire out the way she used to.
The experience itself was just as positive as the results. Joann describes her time with Dr. Sebai and the entire staff as nothing short of awesome. She says the injections were so comfortable she barely felt them, and she felt completely at ease throughout the process. From start to finish, she felt well cared for and confident in the treatment she received.
When asked what she would tell someone who’s unsure about coming in, Joann doesn’t hesitate. She strongly encourages them to come to the Downers Grove office right away, emphasizing how happy she is with her results and her care. Looking back, she says she’s very glad she returned and is truly grateful for the doctor and staff who helped her walk comfortably again.
