Letting Go of Heavy Legs, Nighttime Cramps, and Discomfort
For this patient, leg symptoms had started to take a real toll on daily life. His legs often felt extremely heavy, making it difficult to stand or walk for long periods. At night, severe cramps would set in when he laid down, disrupting his sleep and leaving him uncomfortable and frustrated.
Melvin C. came to United Vein & Vascular Centers – Orland Park, where he underwent multiple VenaSeal™ vein closure procedures along with injection treatments to address the underlying vein issues contributing to his symptoms. The goal was to relieve the heaviness, cramping, and circulation problems affecting his legs.
Over time, the improvements became clear. The severe nighttime cramps that once plagued him have significantly reduced, and the heavy feeling in his legs has gradually disappeared. He also noticed that tingling sensations subsided and that the appearance of his veins improved, making his legs both feel and look better.
The impact on his daily life has been meaningful. Melvin is now able to move around more easily and stand for longer periods without discomfort. His legs feel lighter, more comfortable, and no longer hold him back the way they once did.
He describes his experience with Dr. Davis and the care team as fantastic. He appreciated Dr. Davis’s approachable nature and sense of humor, along with a staff that was professional, friendly, and easy to talk to. From start to finish, he felt supported and well cared for.
Looking back, Melvin says he wouldn’t hesitate to recommend United Vein & Vascular Centers to others. He encourages anyone dealing with leg problems to come in and get evaluated, sharing that his experience with Dr. Davis and the entire team has been nothing but positive.
