HOUSTON – Norma Lindquist thought the pain she felt in her legs after a day at work was a sign of getting old. However, after a visit to Reincke Vein Center in Sugar Land she learned her discomfort was caused by vein disease and there was a treatment that could provide relief.
“The most common symptoms that patients will present with is a feeling of heaviness in their legs, tired at the end of the day swelling,” said Dr. Tonie Reincke before adding that some patients will present with visible veins. “Every decade after 40 there is an increased risk of vein disease,” said Dr. Reincke, which is why people often blame the aches and pains, swelling, and heaviness that come with vein disease on age.
For Norma, it was good news to hear that it wasn’t aging but vein disease that was causing her symptoms because there are treatment options for vein disease and after seeking treatment from from Dr. Reincke, Norma found relief. “She’s a lifesaver,” Norma said of Dr. Reincke.
Treatment is straight forward. Norma said, “I would do this during my lunch break. I would come over here at 11, get my treatment done, and I’d be out of here. In one hour, I’d be back at work.
