Case Summary: This patient, a 41 year old white male from Dothen Alabama, had a nine year history of ulcers in his left leg that would not heal after a traumatic leg injury. He consulted three physicians, was treated for wound care and declined a vein stripping procedure by a vein surgeon in Georgia who gave him only a 50% chance for success. The problem tremendously impacted his life causing unbearable symptoms that interfered with his ability to work and sleep. The patient’s mother, from Port Charlotte, FL read about Douglas H. Joyce, DO, founder of the Joyce Vein & Aesthetic Institute, in the Florida Health Care News. Shortly after, he made arrangement to travel to Florida for treatment. The patient reported no remarkable health history and presented for treatment of his severe venous disease with ulceration in his left leg. His symptoms included left lower extremity prominent painful bulging subcutaneous varicose veins with edema (swelling), discolored thickened skin with inflammatory dermatitis and ulceration. He complained of a heavy sensation in his legs, cramping, painful, tender and swollen legs. He had used support hose for greater than six months and elevated his legs whenever possible. His condition interfered with normal daily activities, producing absences from work and sleep disruption due to pain. Treatment resulted in total healing of the leg ulcer and a complete reversal of the patient’s Venous Insufficiency in his left leg.

Many patients do not realize that leg ulcers are a form of venous disease that can be cured in an office procedure. Other symptoms of venous disease may include varicose veins, spider veins, leg pain, leg swelling, poor sleeping and difficulty walking and standing. Vein treatment procedures for spider veins, varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency are performed at JVAI in an office procedure with minimal discomfort and recovery time.
