|
|
| |
Patient Situation: |
|
|
|
| |
| Tracy: "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." |

Dr. McDonagh |
|
Dr. McDonagh: "Tracy presented with painful legs including muscle cramps and RLS." |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Diagnosis: |
|
|
|
| |
| Dr. McDonagh: "My examination of her leg revealed bulging varicose veins that were part of the Great Saphenous Vein system extending from her groin to the foot." |
 |
|
|
|
|
| |
The Treatment: |
|
|
|
| |
Tracy: "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."
Dr. McDonagh: "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." |
|
|
|
|
| |
Results: |
|
|
|
| |
Tracy: "My legs feel very good now. It's no longer painful for me to spend a lot of time on my feet."
Dr. McDonagh: "Tracy had excellent results with abolition of her symptoms of discomfort and RLS, and her legs have returned to normal appearance."
