Doing More With Less Leg Swelling and Nighttime Pain
Lone E. came to United Vein & Vascular Centers – Gilbert after dealing with leg swelling throughout the day and discomfort that made it difficult to sleep through the night. She was also bothered by the large, visible veins and how they made her legs look.
To address these concerns, Lone underwent radiofrequency ablation (RFA), Varithena®, and ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy. Since receiving treatment, she has been able to stand for longer periods and walk farther than she could before.
That progress has been particularly useful at work. Lone spends much of the day sitting but uses a standing desk to change positions. Since treatment, she can stay on her feet for longer stretches before sitting down again, giving her more flexibility throughout the day.
The changes have carried into her life outside of work as well. Lone has become more active, returned to swimming, and started going out more often. She also feels more comfortable showing her legs than she did before treatment.
Lone described the Gilbert team as friendly, kind, and supportive. Whenever she had a question, the staff either answered it or brought in the physician to provide a more detailed expLonetion. That attentiveness contributed to what Lone considers a top-notch experience, and she encourages others not to let fear keep them from learning more about treatment.
