I had my right leg varicose vein surgical procedure on July 5 and now, over 2 weeks later, the recovery is going well. The main condition is that I wear compression socks to my knee to keep swelling/bruising down and to promote circulations. I've been walking a lot and getting back to yoga. I do have some sympathetic feelings in the top of my leg where the actual vein work was.
The procedure is to insert a tiny catheter at a point below the knee and then go up in the thigh to close off the diseased vein. The disease causes blood to flow down and reflex and pool in the lower leg causing swelling and discomfort/pain. This has gone on for years so it was not a whim to do. Also the matter while it was probably exacerbated from exercise, was mainly heriditary.
I anticipate that the recovery will be like an orthopedic recovery and take 6-9 months to fully heal. But so far, so good.
During my wife pregnancy she has varicose vein problem. Someone told me to Varicose Vein Specialist and also suggested me to do regular exercise and eat healthy food.
