It's nighttime, and you've finally crawled into bed to have a chance to relax. As you start to get more comfortable, you notice a creepy crawly sensation all over your legs. The sensations are so intense that you find it very difficult to keep them still let alone allow you to quietly drift off to sleep. Then when you finally get a moment of rest, you are instantly awakened by an intense cramp in your calf that immediately brings tears to your eyes. You gently get up to begin walking out this painful charley horse which has managed to form a huge knot in your calf. For half an hour you walk and massage your leg in hopes of alleviating your pain. As you look at your clock, you think to yourself; it’s not even midnight yet.
After a night of fitful sleep, you arise to soreness in your legs from the prior nights cramping. At this moment, you reach the conclusion that between your lack of sleep due to restless legs, and the routine pain in your legs from near nightly cramping, you have had enough. Something is not right and you decide to seek professional help for your restless leg syndrome and charley horse pain.
Treatment: An Answer to Your Pain
The Sheen Vein Institute is the answer. One of the most common misconceptions regarding vein disease is that it is primarily a “cosmetic” issue when in fact it is not that at all. It is in fact a venous circulatory defect. This is why individuals who suffer from vein disease often have symptoms like restless leg and night time leg cramping. Cosmetic issues do not cause symptoms. Using insurance approved non-surgical treatment techniques, The Sheen Vein Institute is able to improve the overall circulatory health and look of your legs without any need for stripping or cutting.
Charley horses can result from a multitude of different causes ranging from nutrition deficits to medications to metabolic disorders. The physicians at The Sheen Vein Institute will help to determine the cause of your complaints and offer a solution to your unique vein problem.
