About Leg Pain

Treatment For Leg Pain Issues Including Swelling, Pain and Cramping:
The following treatments may be performed:
Sclerotherapy
This state-of-the art procedure involves injecting a solution directly into the vein. The sclerotherapy solution causes the vein to scar, causing the blood to reroute through healthier veins. The collapsed vein is reabsorbed into local tissue and gradually fades. For more on Sclerotherapy go here.
RFA Radio Frequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation, or RFA, is a minimally invasive alternative to eliminate abnormal veins, redirect blood flow to healthy veins, and relieve discomfort. For more on RFA.

Leg Pain FAQs
What pain symptoms are commonly related to CVI?
Very common symptoms for venous insufficiency include leg swelling, leg pain, and cramping (also restless leg syndrome).
What causes these symptoms?
Varicose veins can cause leg pain, swelling and cramping. In some cases varicose veins may be beneath the surface of the skin, and many patients are not even aware that their symptoms are associated with the veins. When veins are leaky, blood can pool and be stagnant which can cause the leg pain, swelling and cramping.
How are causes diagnosed?
Dr. Sood diagnoses these causes with a physical examination. There may be visible swelling. A venous ultrasound can be carried out to confirm whether or not these symptoms are caused by varicose veins, and venous insufficiency.
What are the treatment options for leg pain?
A wide range of treatment options are available depending on the underlying cause of leg pain. These include compression stockings, exercise, antibiotics, radiofrequency ablations and sclerotherapy.
