For years I had suffered from discomfort in my legs. It all began in my early 20's with just one small lump by my calf. As time
progressed more of these lumps started to appear which caused me embarrassment but little discomfort. I always remember, that when my 3
year was watching me play tennis, he referred to my lumps as bones in my legs......very observant!
It was only very recently that I
decided to get something done about the aching and continual itching in both legs which drove me to distraction. I would also mention
that all my toes felt numb when not standing. Quite worrying really.
Naturally, I researched the internet on treatment for Varicose
veins. I chose the Veincentre at Chipping Norton as they concentrated purely on veins and having read previous patients comments I felt
confident in making my initial appointment.
I was introduced to Dr Raman Oberoi who was an exceptionally calm, kind and knowledgeable
consultant. The initial scans meant that I could have EVLA with Sclerotherapy, so my appointment was booked for November.
For sure I
was a little apprehensive on arrival at this fabulous clinic, but Carol, Dr Oberoi's nurse made me very welcome.
The procedure caused
me no concern, in fact, I felt no pain at all, only a small amount of discomfort. The procedure for both legs lasted just 2 hours.
On
recovery I would say that the inside of my thighs have felt tight but paracetamol does the trick! After 5 days I am absolutely fine now
having had my first bath! My legs feel so less heavy now, itchiness has gone and I now can feel my toes. Just look forward to playing
tennis again in shorts rather than longs
I would say to anyone considering undergoing this procedure to have absolutely no qualms in
approaching the Veincentre, in whichever region you live.
Thank you
