October 2024: the right leg is still unchanged, I can't see any issues with it (actually I never have) but the left leg now is far worse, both above and below the knee, with prominent bulging unsightly veins, noticeably protruding from the leg far more than they ever did before treatment.
I also have new circulation issues in my left foot and ankle, causing significant swelling, more severe peripheral neuropathy, and continuous debilitating pain 24/7 that pain meds don't touch.
I can't state with a positive certainty that the painful ankle and foot swelling and related crippling foot pain is absolutely related to the vein treatment, I had minor tingling and foot numbness in both feet due to neuropathy prior to this treatment, and this pain only started in the last 3 months after I lost 30 lbs and started exercising more, but to me there's a correlation, if not causation.
In short I wish I had never done any vein treatments at all. Ask yourself how cosmetically bad your unsightly vein problem might be, and realize you're rolling the dice and there's a chance that any treatment (with any Doctor) will actually make the problem worse. read more
