“Wanda” came to Coastal Vascular & Vein Center with intermittent leg pain so fierce that she could walk only 100 feet before she had to stop. If she went any further, she knew the piercing, charley horse-like pain would come.
“I remember just sitting down in tears and saying I don’t want to live my life like this. I don’t know what to do,” Wanda recalled. “I put up with it for so long, and my activities just ceased.”
Wanda had artery blockages in both thighs. Arterial disease creeps up and cripples an increasing number of people like Wanda every year, but with the right physician, patients can map out the lifestyle changes and treatments to bring back pain-free movement.
Wanda trusted CVVC’s Dr. Zachary Arthurs to help her find the path to her pain-free life.
Wanda and Dr. Arthurs agreed to dietary therapy first. They pulled sugar out of her diet and restricted the time frame Wanda could eat to from noon to 6 p.m.
“Wanda was motivated,” Dr. Arthurs explained. “That motivation drives everything.”
With a minimally invasive procedure, Dr. Arthurs opened up the blocked arteries, too.
