Back to an Active Lifestyle with Less Knee Pain
Michele M. came to United Vein & Vascular Centers – Tampa OBL seeking relief from knee pain, stiffness, swelling, and inflammation that were limiting her mobility and making everyday activities more difficult.
Following genicular artery embolization (GAE) treatment, Michele experienced meaningful improvements in both her symptoms and function. She shared that her knee became visibly smaller as the swelling decreased and that she noticed less pain, reduced inflammation, and better mobility.
The results have made a difference in her daily life. Michele explained that she is now exercising more, including weight training, and has returned to other activities she enjoys.
Michele also praised the care team, describing her experience as “100%.” She shared that everyone she worked with was personable, competent, and compassionate throughout her treatment journey.
For anyone considering treatment, Michele encourages keeping an open mind and scheduling a consultation. She believes patients will receive the information they need to make informed decisions about their care and highly recommends United Vein & Vascular Centers.
