Treatment for Leg and Vein Pain has progressed immensely in the last several years, and is now more convenient than ever. Today, most treatments are done in-office, with little or no down time; nearly all patients who we treat for leg or vein pain are able to resume normal activities the same day or the next day. By starting treatment early in the year, your legs may feel and look better in time for spring!

Now may be an excellent time to begin treatment, especially if you have funds remaining in your Flexible Spending Account from 2016.

You may benefit from a consultation for leg pain if you have any of the following symptoms:
-Leg swelling, especially in the calves or ankles
-Legs that feel worse in the afternoon or evening, but better in the morning
-Bulging, ropey veins or recurrent spider veins
-Muscle pain or cramping
-Leg aches or a feeling of heaviness
-Itching veins or skin
-Legs that feel restless

Vein Disease is a serious condition that affects over 20 million Americans- Vein Disease is TWICE as common as Heart Disease and FIVE times more common than Arterial Disease.

If left untreated, symptoms often get worse over time. The most common symptoms of Vein Disease include:

-Leg swelling, especially in the calves or ankles
-Legs that feel worse in the afternoon or evening, but better in the morning
-Muscle pain or cramping
-Leg aches or a feeling of heaviness
-Itching veins or skin
-Legs that feel restless

Vein Disease is often a progressive disorder, and in many cases can lead to Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). CVI is a condition where the valves in the veins that are just under the skin fail, resulting poor blood circulation. Since blood can’t circulate back to the heart, it pools in the legs, increasing pressure in the entire network of veins. This pressure causes veins to become discolored and bulgy, and it often gets worse with time.
CVI can have a very negative effect on a patient’s quality of life, limiting their physical performance as well as creating a potentially embarrassing appearance of the legs. Though the majority of patients who suffer from CVI are women, many men are also affected by the disease.

Risk factors for CVI include:
-Family History
-Sedentary lifestyle- the muscles used in walking help to circulate blood from the lower legs
-Prolonged standing
-Excess weight or Obesity
-Smoking or a history of smoking

The good news is that CVI is a very treatable condition, and most insurance plans (including Medicare) cover diagnosis and treatment. The team at Bay Vein Associates has helped hundreds of patients address their leg pain and improve their quality of life. If you have symptoms of CVI, or know someone who does, you don’t have to live with the pain- contact us today to schedule a consultation.

For over 20 million Americans, vein problems cause leg pain and negatively impact quality of life. Many people first notice their legs veins because they begin to appear unsightly, but vein problems can be much more than a cosmetic issue- some common symptoms that may indicate a serious vein condition include:

-Leg swelling, especially in the calves or ankles
-Legs that feel worse in the afternoon or evening, but better in the morning
-Muscle pain or cramping
-Leg aches or a feeling of heaviness
-Itching veins or skin
-Changes in skin color or texture
-Legs that feel restless

If you or someone you know has been suffering from any of these symptoms, you may benefit from a consultation with an expert vein MD.

Why do Varicose Veins & Spider Veins occur, and why do they keep popping up, even after treatment?

Varicose Veins & Spider Veins affect tens of millions of women and men in America. For many, this unsightly disorder is a source of embarrassment, preventing them from wearing shorts or skirts that make the veins visible. As warm weather approaches, some people elect to have cosmetic treatment of their veins. This can consist of laser or chemical ablation of the vein, which is effective, but often results in recurrence of the problem after a few months.

Why do visible veins recur, even after treatment? Many times, it’s not the treated veins that become visible again, rather it’s new veins in the same network that become visible. This cycle of treatment and recurrence can continue indefinitely as long as the problem veins are only treated cosmetically and the root problems are never addressed.

Dr. Lee, the Medical Director at Bay Vein Associates, often describes problem veins like leaky pipes in the basement of a house. Treating the vein cosmetically is like mopping up the puddles of water caused by leaking pipes. The puddles can be mopped up every day, but they will always return unless the source of the problem- the leaky pipes- are fixed first. That’s what we aim to do at Bay Vein Associates- find and fix the source of the problem, then go back and mop up any remaining cosmetic issues.

Usually, the problem behind Varicose Veins & Spider Veins is an underlying condition called Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). In patients with CVI, valves in the veins that are just under the skin fail, resulting poor blood circulation. Since blood can’t circulate back to the heart, it pools in the legs, increasing pressure in the entire network of veins. This pressure causes veins to become discolored and bulgy, and it often gets worse with time. Other more symptoms of CVI that may arise with time include:

-Leg swelling, especially in the calves or ankles
-Muscle pain or cramping
-Leg aches or a feeling of heaviness
-Itching veins or skin

The first step to treatment of Varicose Veins or Spider Veins is to see how extensively the veins are damaged. Sometimes, cosmetic treatment is sufficient. But other times, more comprehensive treatment will serve the patient better in the long run. Schedule a visit with us and let us help you look and feel your best this summer.

Lee had been suffering from pain and discomfort when walking and running for years. As a lifelong runner, he could not do one of the things that he loved the most. What finally made Lee seek treatment was that his legs were beginning to get unsightly. He says his legs looked like, “a grotesque picture, and they were getting worse and worse.”

Lee says, “I had been to several physicians who could not explain my problem.” But after his first consultation with Dr. Chris Lee, a treatment plan was immediately put in place.

Following treatment, Lee says his legs are “absolutely back to normal,” and he wants other people to know that for him, “this procedure was miraculous. There was no discomfort or impairment- treatment didn’t impede my regular routine whatsoever.”

Though not every patient should expect to see results as dramatic as Lee’s, many of our patients have a similar story. Since modern, effective treatments for leg and vein pain are relatively new, many primary care physicians are not yet aware that patients can benefit so greatly from these simple treatments.

If you or someone you know would like to speak with an experienced physician about heavy, swollen legs or vein pain, simple, effective treatments may be available. Please contact us to schedule a consultation.

Janet is a nurse, so she needs to be on her feet all day, and the pain and swelling she had in her
both of her legs was making it impossible to do her job. When she first came to see Dr. Lee, he explained that her leg pain and the varicose veins that she was getting are caused by a problem that was easily solved with an in-office procedure.

She decided to schedule the procedure and has been extremely satisfied with the results. She says:

“The procedure itself was not very painful- Dr. Lee and the staff prepared me very well and explained the whole procedure from beginning to end, as well as the aftercare. I didn’t need any pain medicine afterward, and I was able to resume my usual activities within 24 hours. I’ve really had amazing results.”

Janet can now can stand for longer periods of time, can work out longer and has better endurance. Just 10 days after the procedure, Janet wore heels to a friend’s wedding- “It’s the first time I haven’t had pain in my legs in over five years! I would recommend Dr. Lee to anyone- he’s really great.”

While we can not guarantee that every patient will have a story as remarkable as Janet’s, we strive to provide expert care for leg and vein pain and have had many happy patients. If your leg swelling or vein pain has been keeping you from enjoying the activities you love, please contact us for a Consultation with an expert MD.

Teresa had been experiencing a burning sensation in her legs, and red, protruding, uncomfortable veins for over a year. Her leg discomfort was getting progressively worse and making it difficult to do some of the things that she really enjoyed, like bowling and gardening. To treat her pain, she was using ice packs, creams, and massage, but they provided minimal or no relief.

Then, Teresa’s cousin, who is also a happy patient of ours, told her about Dr. Lee. During Teresa’s first appointment, Dr. Lee explained in detail what was happening with her legs and veins. Teresa decided that she didn’t want to live with the discomfort in her legs and scheduled a simple procedure in our office.

Teresa says, “During the procedure, Dr. Lee made me feel comfortable and welcome the entire time.” And after the procedure, “No symptoms!”

While we can not guarantee that every patient will have a story as remarkable as Teresa’s, we strive to provide expert care for leg and vein pain and have had many happy patients.

More than 30 million Americans suffer from Leg & Vein Pain caused by an underlying condition known as Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). In the past, this condition was thought of as simply a cosmetic issue having to do with Varicose Veins, but more recently physicians have seen serious medical consequences associated with untreated CVI.

The most common symptoms are:

-Leg fatigue, heaviness
-Aching, throbbing, itching
-Swelling (legs/ankles/feet)

Left untreated, symptoms may get worse and lead to complications including

-Skin changes in the lower legs (skin discoloration/thickening)
-Slow healing sores (venous ulcers) on legs, ankles or feet
-Blood clots (DVT)

Since these symptoms can seriously affect a patient's health and life, Insurance companies often cover the diagnosis and treatment of CVI.

Too many patients wait years or even decades before seeking treatment. If you or someone you know may be suffering from CVI, please contact us for a Free Screening. If eligible for treatment, our Patient Care Coordinator can help with all necessary insurance paperwork and authorizations, so that you can get back to doing what you love- without the pain.

Lynn suffered from daily pain, swelling, and heat- she would even ice her calves to ease the pain. More recently, the skin near her ankles was becoming discolored. Like many patients, Lynn was told repeatedly that there was nothing that could be done to treat her leg pain, and so she suffered with progressively worsening pain for nearly 30 years!

After visiting Dr. Lee and learning about her underlying vein disease - it's called Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI), and nearly 40 million Americans suffer from it- she decided to pursue treatment. Lynn says, "Dr. Lee thoroughly explained the disease to me and I was very prepared for my procedure."

She quickly returned to normal activity and adds that her, "lower legs are great now, no pain no swelling or heat. Pain is gone from upper calf where I felt lots of pain at all times. I would definitely recommend (Dr. Lee) to friends."

CVI is an extremely common disorder, and it is very treatable. All exams and procedures take place in one of our two convenient clinics, where our staff takes the time to fully explain the underlying causes and treatments for vein disease. Our Clinic Coordinator also handles all insurance authorizations, saving patients time and frustration.

If you think that you or someone you know has symptoms such as painful, heavy, swollen legs or vein pain, don't wait a day longer - get back to the life you deserve- without the pain.

Many people live with leg and vein pain for years or decades before they seek treatment. Often, patients believe that leg and vein pain are simply a part of getting older, and treatment is either too painful, costly, or time-consuming. Even many physicians are not aware that Leg and Vein Pain can have a serious impact of physical and emotional health. Recent medical advances have made it amazingly easy to diagnose and treat one of the most common sources of leg and vein pain- Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI).

CVI is a very treatable condition - all exams and treatments are done in our clinic, and patients typically return to normal activity the same day of treatment. The most common symptoms of vein disease are:
-Swelling, often in the calves or ankles
-Muscle pain or cramping
-Aching or a feeling of heaviness
-Vein pain or swelling
-Itching veins or skin
-Changes in skin color.
-Skin sores (ulcers)

The first step to addressing painful legs is to schedule a Free Screening with an experienced MD.

Though it’s commonly thought of as a condition that affects mostly females, men are also highly susceptible to the problems caused by vein disease. In addition to the classic symptom of bulging, ropy veins, the most commonly reported problems are:

-Swelling
-Pain
-Cramping
-Itching
-Changes in skin color or texture

These are all signs that a patient may be suffering from Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI), a condition that is highly hereditary and very treatable. Diagnosis and treatment is the same for both men and women- the main difference is that women may be more likely to seek treatment than men, which is significant because early diagnosis and treatment may prevent a host of problems from arising.

All of our treatments are office-based, and most patients return to normal activity on the same day. And if a patient’s symptoms are negatively affecting the patient’s quality of life, many insurance carriers will cover both the diagnosis and treatment, and Flexible Spending Account funds and make up any gaps.

If you believe that you or someone you know may be suffering from CVI, the first step is to schedule a Free Screening appointment with an experienced doctor.

At Bay Vein Associates, we focus on patient education, and our doctors and staff take the time to help patients fully understand the underlying causes of vein disease and treatments. Our Patient Care Coordinator handles all the scheduling and insurance authorizations, and can help patients navigate their coverage. Our focus is getting patients back to doing what they love- without the pain.
