Walking Better, Sleeping Through the Night, and Getting Life Back
Before seeking treatment, this patient struggled with constant leg heaviness that made even rest difficult. At night, her legs felt so heavy it was hard to sleep. She describes it as feeling “like bricks” were on her legs. Walking was uncomfortable and unsteady, sometimes forcing her to hop just to move forward. The discomfort affected both her mobility and her quality of life.
After receiving vein treatment at United Vein & Vascular Centers in Orland Park, Vater M. began noticing steady, meaningful improvements. She can now sleep through the night without leg discomfort and has returned to doing her walking exercises in the evening. Her legs feel lighter, movement feels more natural, and walking no longer feels like a struggle.
The impact on her lifestyle has been significant. While traveling, she was able to take long walks again, logging three to four miles during a trip to New York, something that would not have been possible before treatment. Activities that once felt exhausting or painful now feel achievable.
She also speaks highly of Dr. Davis and the care team, describing them as kind, helpful, and attentive. She appreciated how clearly Dr. Davis explained the procedures and what to expect, which helped her feel informed and confident throughout her care.
Now, she encourages others not to be afraid of seeking treatment. She believes that getting evaluated and treated can be life-changing, and based on her experience, it truly was.
