Tracy's Story

Tracy is a marketing executive who enjoys traveling, cooking and reading. Because of cramping in her legs, she couldn't be as physically active as she wanted to be. She also knew that varicose veins ran in her family.



Why Tracy Came to Vein Clinics of America

"I had a lot of aching in my upper legs and occasional cramping in my lower legs. My legs would ache if I had been walking all day, and I wasn't able to sit in a hot tub or a plane for a long period of time. I also wasn't able to do some yoga positions because my circulation was getting worse and my feet would go numb. Varicose veins run in my family, so I wanted to have my legs checked out."



Her Physician's Diagnosis

"When Tracy came to Vein Clinics of America, her legs were painful and she was experiencing muscle cramps and Restless Leg Syndrome. My examination of her leg revealed bulging varicose veins that were part of the Great Saphenous Vein system extending from her upper leg to her foot."



Tracy's Treatment

Tracy says, "I felt like I was in very good hands since my doctor specialized only in vein treatment. Once we started treatment, I noticed immediate relief from my condition."



Her Physician says, "Tracy's larger veins that could not be seen on her skin's surface were treated with sclerotherapy under ultrasound imaging. Her smaller surface veins were treated with visual sclerotherapy."



After Treatment

Tracy says, "My legs feel very good now. It's no longer painful for me to spend a lot of time on my feet."



Her Physician says,

"Tracy had excellent results with elimination of her symptoms of discomfort and Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), and her legs have returned to normal appearance."
