We don't hear about celebrity varicose vein problems all that often. However, it does happen every now and then and this is one of those cases. Brian Robison is a football player with the Minnesota Vikings. He is also a patient seeking treatment for a problem with varicose veins.
Robison has an outstanding vein in his calf area that has been there since he was in high school. However, it had never bothered him in the past. Like many people do who have varicose veins that don't cause them pain, Robison had ignored the problem until recently.
The varicose vein in Robison's calf recently flared up on him and became a physical problem for him. He is seeing a vein treatment doctor this week to get advice about how to treat the varicose vein problem. He has explained to fans that this type of non-invasive surgery wouldn't keep him out of the game for long. This goes to show how celebrity varicose vein treatment can be important in educating the mainstream population about problems with varicose veins.
Question of the Day: How many people leave varicose veins untreated and undiagnosed until they become a physical problem?
