Say farewell to worry and stress when you head to the San Juan Islands . . . and say hello to the mellow islands vibe, a temperate year-round climate, and long, lazy hours of doing just what you want. Count on temperatures around 70Â° in the summer and 40Â° in the winter.
The types of varicose vein surgery include: 1  Ambulatory phlebectomy (also called micro-incision phlebectomy, hook phlebectomy, stab avulsion phlebectomy, and microphlebectomy) removes portions of varicose veins through small incisions using a hook. 2  Ligation and stripping usually removes the saphenous vein, a large vein in the leg.
Leg pain due to varicose veins worsens with sitting or standing and improves with elevation. Varicose veins can be internal, so sometimes patients go for years before they discover the true cause of their leg pain. The leg pain from varicose veins is often described as a heaviness or deep ache. These symptoms, as well as restless legs and leg cramping, often respond well to vein treatment.
