Patient Testimonial - Christine (Swindon)

I noticed a blue vein in the back of my calf which became more visible by the end of the day. My leg began to feel very heavy, and by the evening the vein began to bulge slightly. I also began to experience sharp pains in my calf.



I was initially seen and examined by him. He explained what was wrong and what my options were. After a couple of days, I decided on having treatment.



It has now been thirteen days since my operation. I had my veins treated with radio frequency. A small incision was made and my vein was treated through this.


I am extremely pleased with the result and with how quickly I was able to return to normal activities. The bulging blue vein has disappeared. I experienced no pain, just a slight ache and tightness. I was prescribed pain killers but did not need to take them. I only had to wear the anti embolism stockings for a maximum of ten days. I am now left with a small amount of bruising which will disappear, and a little scar which no doubt will fade with time and is far easier to deal with than the blue bulging vein.


The overall care I received from Mr Singh Ranger and his team has been fantastic. At all times I was kept informed of what was happening and I was made to feel at ease. I truly am thankful to him for removing my unsightly vein.
