A recent news item in Australia tells of the death of an elderly woman in South Australia. The article says she was attacked by a rooster while she was collecting eggs. Using ‘attacked’, makes it sound as if it was a full-blown...

When you can feel your vein in your legs bothering you and which one it is that is the trouble maker I would say. I am wearing since 20 years now support hoses. I am soo happy that they created them.

One of the PA's that I see at the specialists office for varicose veins said that my wound is less deep but not quite shallow enough to form a scab. She planned on injecting a zigzag vein on my inner ankle with something to shut...

Today was my followup appointment with the vein specialist. I had an ablation on each leg, plus sclerotherapy on the right, about two months ago. So today I met with the specialist so he could see how I'm doing, and he's very...

Just another update on the situation with my leg, since last night I mentioned that it was red and kinda puffy in the area where I got the sclerotherapy injection. I ended up calling my doctor's office first thing in the morning...

Earlier this afternoon I had my sclerotherapy injection in my right leg, which seemingly went okay. But my body had some weird reactions, and I still don't feel quite right. Immediately when the doctor injected the stuff, I got a...

Tomorrow marks two weeks since I had the venous ablation done on my right leg, which means my restrictions should be lifted after tomorrow (at least for that leg). Although I will be getting some sclerotherapy injections to close...

Yesterday I had my second venous ablation, this time on my left leg. It went well, although the procedure itself seemed to last longer and was more painful than the last time. I haven't been having any weird cramping or soreness...

Later this morning I will be having my second venous ablation procedure performed, after having my right leg done last Tuesday. I am a bit more anxious now knowing what to expect pain-wise and also recovery-wise. It is not going...

Earlier I had my post-op ultrasound on my leg, to make sure that the vein is still closed and that I haven't started developing a DVT. There was a different set of nurses and ultrasound technicians working at the vein specialist's...

I just wanted to check in and let all of you know that I survived the ablation procedure I had done on my vein in my right leg. It was not a pleasant experience and I am not enjoying having to get up and walk around every half...

Well, tomorrow is the big day. I'm finally having the ablation done on the veins in my right leg, which will close down the bad veins which have been causing me grief. Hopefully that will make the pain and swelling go away and I...

Years ago a friend of mine got an ulcer on her leg that wouldn't heal and had to wear a unna boot for several months until it got better. I thought it was similar to a boot cam, but it's actually a bandage soaked in zinc oxide...

I am just diagnosed with symptoms of varicose veins in the left leg. I was feeling very uncomfortable and weak, and even used to get cramps. I got myself thoroughly checked up and that was the diagnosis.
I have been prescribed a...

I have varicose veins which I ignored before because I never thought they'll cause any health issues. The problem is I had blood clot last year and my doctor advised me that I needed to undergo surgery after a year. She also told...
