My husband has been suffering from Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) for over 5 years. At first, the doctors did not want to go over options with him becasue he was only 35. After a few months of suffering, he was prescribed Mirapex. The Mirapex had to be tken every day. Even though he took the Mirapex, he would get occasional leg twitches. He always had to remember to take the Mirapex because if he forgot just one day, he wouldn't be able to sleep that night. If he didn't sleep, then I didn't sleep. I spoke to someone at the Vein Center and they advised that a RF Ablation procedure would help. I was very skeptical at first Because I was afraid that it would not work. My husband first went in for a Doppler Ultrasound that was performed by a registered Vascular ultrasound technologist. This appointment took 45 minutes and after the appointment, we had learned that my husband had venous reflux. This meant that the blood was flowing in the wrong direction causing him all of his symptoms, including the RLS. My husband then had the RF Ablation done on his legs about 2 months ago. Since the procedure, he no longer has to take Mirapex!! His RLS has went away completely. Imagine all of your nights of interrupted sleep turned into a great nights sleep. My husband and I are so thrilled that we were informed about this center and its treatment. The doctors told my husband that the only treatment was an oral mediccation that he had to take the rest of his life. At 35 years old....that seemed like forever. Now he is so excited and so am I!! Thank You Vein Center.
