From Severe Swelling to Walking Comfortably Again
Louise S. came to United Vein & Vascular Centers in Downers Grove after experiencing significant swelling in her calves and feet. She described her legs as feeling hard and tight, with swelling that made it difficult to put on shoes and move comfortably.
After being evaluated, she moved forward with treatment that included VenaSeal™ and injections, minimally invasive vein procedures designed to improve circulation and reduce swelling.
As she progressed through care, Louise noticed a meaningful improvement. She shared that her legs began to return to a normal state, and with additional support through specialized lymphedema therapy, the swelling in her feet significantly decreased.
These changes had a clear impact on her daily routine. Getting dressed in the morning became easier, and she was once again able to wear the shoes she wanted. She also noted that walking felt more natural and comfortable than it had before.
Louise spoke highly of her experience with the care team, describing Dr. Sebai and the staff as accommodating, pleasant, and attentive. She felt well cared for throughout the process and appreciated the support she received at every step.
For others who may be unsure about seeking treatment, Louise shared that she initially felt the same way. However, after going through the evaluation and learning more about her condition, she felt confident in her decision. She encourages others not to wait, noting that addressing vein concerns early can help prevent symptoms from getting worse.
