Venus insufficiency in leg



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had a venus insufficiency in their leg ? I just had an ultrasound at a vein specialist and that's what the technician said. I go to see the doctor this Friday about what the treatment will be.. I'm just curious, worried.. I just got all the clearance for my VSG surgery and now I found out this. My left toes have been numb for the last several months so I finally decided to get it checked. Just wondering what to do ?

Thanks

I have that and lymphadema, especially the left. Had to wear knee high brown stockings, but happy happy news, as I lose my weight less swelling and pain, I even can see my ankle bones again, and in that way WL Surgery,has given me JOY!

I have not but, my husband has venous stasis in his right leg from an illness that caused some damage to the bottom of his heart. He has had it for years now. His leg swells off and on along with his foot but it has not been life threatening.

What he has may be totally different. It is something that is common in the elderly. The veins in his leg have lost some elasticity.

He is supposed to wear compression hose but rarely does.

Try not to worry yourself too much although I know that is easier said than done

Good luck and keep us posted.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
