When Dull Calf Pain Stopped Getting in the Way
This patient came to United Vein & Vascular Centers – Gilbert after dealing with a dull, throbbing pain in his lower calves. The pain had begun interfering with familiar activities, making it more difficult to work in his yard, go for walks, and take his dog out.
After other doctors encouraged him to have his legs evaluated, Enrique decided it was time to move forward with care. Over the course of approximately six months, he received VenaSeal™, Varithena®, and ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy. Once his procedures were complete, Enrique noticed a clear difference. The dull pain in his lower calves was no longer bothering him, and he described his treatment as very successful.
That relief has made a noticeable difference in Enrique’s daily life. Yard work is easier, and he can walk and spend time outside with his dog without the same pain. Being able to do those everyday activities more comfortably has been, in his words, “a great improvement.”
Enrique also appreciated the people who cared for him at the Gilbert clinic. He described Dr. Favata as fantastic and the rest of the team as kind, welcoming, and fun. Their personalities helped make his visits enjoyable throughout his care.
For anyone uncertain about having their legs checked, Enrique encourages taking the time to come in and learn more. He wants others to know that vein concerns can be about more than appearance. He also points out that insurance coverage may be available, depending on the plan. Based on both his improvement and the care he received, Enrique called UVVC “a great place to be when you’re having problems with your legs.”
