Training for a Marathon with Lighter, More Comfortable Legs
Kyle S. came to United Vein & Vascular Centers – Gilbert after enlarged varicose veins began causing discomfort, end-of-day fatigue, and a restless feeling in his legs. Although he is younger than many people typically associate with vein treatment, the symptoms were affecting both how his legs felt and how they looked.
After his evaluation, Kyle underwent radiofrequency ablation (RFA), VenaSeal™, and Varithena® to address the affected veins and improve circulation.
Since receiving treatment, Kyle has noticed a major difference. His legs feel lighter, the pain he once experienced is gone, and he is also pleased with the improvement in the appearance of his veins.
Those changes have been especially meaningful as Kyle trains for a marathon. With less discomfort holding him back, he shared that exercising feels easier and he is able to train more freely.
Kyle also described the Gilbert team as welcoming, friendly, and nonjudgmental. He appreciated feeling comfortable throughout the process and said his overall experience at the Val Vista Road clinic has been a positive one.
For other young people who may be hesitant to seek care, Kyle encourages getting a vein screening and letting go of the idea that vein treatment is only for certain ages. His advice is simple: there should be no stigma around getting your legs checked and learning what treatment options may be available.

- Varicose veins and vein-related symptoms can affect people at different ages
