Back to the Vein Specialist Tomorrow

Tweet

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 some veins in my right leg, so maybe that will come with its own set of restrictions and aftercare for me to follow. I was never really consulted on that procedure and was surprised when I was told I had to come back to have it done. Although I was told it's not as bad as the venous ablation, and won't require me having my leg wrapped afterwards. I foolishly googled what the procedure entails and now I wish I hadn't. Sometimes ignorance truly is bliss. I know there's a lot of misinformation online and that the people writing articles for medical sites aren't necessarily experts or even have any prior knowledge on the topics they're writing about, so I'm trying not to get too worried. Mostly what causes me to panic about things is the possible side effects. What some of those articles don't mention is that the worst possible scenarios are extremely rare and often occur under special circumstances. Anyway, I will let you all know how it went once I'm back from my appointment. It's not until the afternoon so at least I won't have to get up early for it. Now to get through the next week so my restrictions will be lifted completely, as it's only been a week since I had the ablation done on my left leg. Getting rid of varicose veins sure is a pain!
