Best of luck, all surgery has risk of course, however an excellent surgeon today can get excellent results. Make you wonder why you waited so long, after the recovery.

Well it's now SAT. morning. I just love these posts, then they don't come back and say anything, and don't come back and tell me he's distracted by the pain or anything, I've had ten times the work on both legs in the last 15 years, going thru it right now, hell he hasn't even had the ulcers yet, I've had two open for more then a year now, fighting the INS.CO that it medically necessary.

My surgery is Next Friday. I should have put that date.

Hope all goes well and you have a speedy recovery.

Had it done for swelling of my left leg. Pretty simple and quick. I had no pain before or after. It didn't fix the swelling as it still swells when I'm on my feet a lot. Hopefully it helps your pain Jackie.

My wife had it done a couple of years ao at the age of 54. All went well and it helped. Good luck with your procedure, it will go good.

Ugh. All I can add is Speedy Recovery.
Life is full of ups and downs, some we get to watch, and some of which land in our lap.
Hope this one works out. (ps, I hear Scotch works....)

I have been dealing with venous issues for many years and for the same reasons. I never had a job where I wasn't on my feet all day. I'll be anxiously awaiting your results. WH

My Apology's, come back on Saturday AM, and let us know how your doing the first time I had mine worked on it was every other week for almost a year(cadillac medical plan) I've had the lasers and the acid, working on my right leg now, trick is to find a vein guy that knows what he's doing. don't shy away from a second opinion.

the results are almost immediate, the thing is after a few years the valves fail again and then your back, they destroy the bad veins and then body grows new ones. and then they fail.

Heal quick, Jackie!

Heck, at my age, I only have “a few years” anyway, so anything that helps me keep functioning is welcome.

My surgeon is Dr Richard Lee. He was recommended my cardiologist Weston Hickey, who is a member of my Gun Club.

Wishing and praying you well, Jackie.

I'm 68. Is there anything one can do to possibly avoid or delay onset of this ailment?

A lot of it is probably hereditary. My Dad had the same problem at an earlier age. But he passed away at 61. I am now close to 15 years older than my Dad when he passed.

being on my feet my entire life probably is a contributing factor as well.

One thing that got me so bad on this episode was I should have got to the doctor the day I felt that pain in one ankle. Infection as already setting in. If I would have got on a proper antibiotic, I could have saved myself a lot of pain. As I said in a previous post, the infection is where most of the pain originates.

Good luck and speedy recovery, prayers will be forth coming for you Sir.

 

[Murray Brook]

You will most certainly be in my prayers. Hope everything goes good for you Jackie
