The Story of Sam Herald
At 49 years old, Sam Herald received vein treatment at Taylor Vein Solutions (TVS) that helped him heal and regain control over his life.
“I am moving like I did before my leg pain,” said Sam. “I'm able to do so much more now. I'm not worried and I’m more confident now that my legs are getting better.”
As a Hilo driver for a trucking company, Sam often sits for long durations of time. Unfortunately, any profession that requires sitting or standing for an extended period of time may increase the risk of developing varicose veins because blood tends to stagnate within the veins since muscles are not contracting and circulating blood as frequently.
Sam has a large family whom he enjoys spending time with. After a family member mentioned that his leg veins looked unhealthy, he determined that venous reflux might be the root cause of leg pain that he had been experiencing for over three years.
The leg pain “caused me to move slower because it was very painful with constant fatigue in my legs,” remembered Sam. These symptoms aligned directly with those of venous conditions.
Sam discovered TVS online when searching for treatment. As soon as he visited the office, he was impressed by Dr. Ramaswami and the rest of the staff. “Everyone was very friendly and focused on my problems,” he shared.
“My first visit was very professional and informative, and right to the point of my problem. [It] gave me hope that they could make a difference for me,” said Sam. After receiving a comprehensive ultrasound, Sam scheduled procedures to treat his refluxing veins.
Sam’s surgeries went very well and he felt more confident with each procedure. After treatment, Sam was able to listen to music, watch movies, and go to work without being distracted by the pain and discomfort of varicose veins.
“I would tell my friends to definitely go. It helped me a lot with my leg pain,” said Sam.
