Treating all these allow our patients to feel better, live better and even look better. Over the years, our team of Doctors (having vast experience in the various fields of Joint Replacements, Spine Surgeries,Orthopaedics & Pain Management ), have come across a lot of patients with complaints of Leg Pains, Tiredness/Heaviness of Legs where earlier, clinical diagnosis was not clear &even investigations were of no help in reaching a definite diagnosis. Our research on this subject led us to conclude that these patients may actually be suffering from Chronic Venous Insufficiency(CVI). This earlier was either being treated with Calcium/ Vit.E supplementation or even being labelled as psychosomatic disorders.

TREATMENT OF CVI

The treatment of CVI is based on the principle of not letting the blood collect in the legs. Ranging from the conservative treatment to the various procedures, we, at VRI Leg Clinic offer succour to the long suffering patients.
Compression stockings have been used since a long time, which provide a marked relief in symptoms but it is not a cure. The veins fill up within seconds of taking off the stockings. Moreover a correct amount of compression has to be given according to the patient’s requirement.
Radiofrequency/Laser ablation of the insufficient veins results in the closure of such veins so that blood flows through other healthier veins.
Other treatment options like sclerotherapy, microphlebectomy etc. are also available according to the requirements of the patients.

VRI LEG CLINIC - a super specialized clinic and probably the only clinic in India dealing exclusively with patients of Chronic Venous Disease (CVI) presenting with Leg pains, Swelling, Varicose Veins, Leg Ulcers etc.
CVI is a highly under-diagnosed problem in the medical field.
In medical teaching somehow importance to the diseases of the veins was not given excepting life-threatening conditions such as DVT.
Varicose Veins is another problem where some focus of the medical fraternity was present but due to not very encouraging results of the old surgical procedures like Stripping/Ligation, doctors & even patients were not keen for the surgery.
With the advent of new diagnostic /Therapeutic methods of the treatment like Endovenous Ablations & Sclerotherapy a whole new dimension is opening up in this field.

Differential Diagnosis
A 72 year old gentleman had come for a knee replacement surgery after being advised surgery by many surgeons across Delhi. Surprisingly he had pain only in one leg whereas his X-rays showed bad knees on both sides. He was diagnosed to have CVI on Doppler Scan and it was noticed that from his pain free leg, the vein had already been removed for his heart bye-pass surgery hence the pain was only in one leg. He underwent the procedure for CVI and the next day he declared that he slept fitfully after many years.
Hence,very important to find the cause/causes of leg pain.

Q. Is there any way to prevent CVI?
A. Unfortunately we cannot prevent the occurrence of CVI but a few changes in lifestyle can go a long way to ameliorate the symptoms of CVI. Avoid prolonged standing and sitting. Weight control, exercises like brisk walking and elevation of legs should help a lot. Similarly prescription compression stockings reduce the severity of symptoms.

Q. Is there any treatment available for CVI?
A. Yes, this can now be treated with a simple procedure. But before that Colour Doppler Scan of both legs is done to prove the diagnosis. After a positive scan various treatment options are given to the patient like Radiofrequency/Laser ablation of veins, sclerotherapy, micro-phlebectomies etc. All these procedures are done under local anaesthesia and do not require hospitalisation. Patient returns to normal daily activities the same day.

Q. How is the pain of CVI different from sciatica?
A. Pain in the whole leg is often confused with that of sciatica. The pain of sciatica arises because of pressure on the nerve root in the spinal cord which radiates down the back of leg & is very severe. More often it is due to a slipped disc or tightening of the spinal space, putting pressure on the nerves. Here again the leg pain has to be differentiated from that of CVI.
Both the pain from spine and that of arthritis are worst on movement that is walking or weight bearing but that of CVI is worst at rest. CVI should be kept in mind whenever patient has pain in legs which is worst at rest. Often patients are able to walk but cannot stand or even sit for a long time. Elevation of legs will relieve pain of CVI but not that of sciatica.

Q. Isn’t pain around the knee joint because of arthritis?
A. Pain around the knee joints may not necessarily be due to osteo-arthritis. Arthritis is an aging process which is bound to happen to all of us with increasing age. There is no reason to treat a young person as osteo-arthritis when no other apparent cause is found for the pain. Even in the older age group when arthritis does set in, it is important to rule out Chronic Venous Insufficiency(CVI). In such patients CVI can either co-exist with arthritis or exist on its own.

The most common cause pain in the legs is found to be because of Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). This is a long-standing problem relating to the veins, which are not functioning sufficiently. Veins are those channels which take blood back to heart for receiving oxygen. In order that blood can move from the feet up towards the heart there are multiple small valves in the veins. Wherever these valves do not close properly, it leads to stagnation of blood in the legs. This is the cause of the leg pains

Chronic Venous Insufficiency(CVI)
Upto 5-30% of the adult population suffers from varicose veins in the western world. M.J. Callam, Epidemiology of varicose veins, Br J Surg 81 (1994), pp. 167–173). Various other studies quote variable prevalence. Often overlooked because of the under appreciation of the magnitude and the social impact of this problem. Its importance lies in the sheer number of people suffering from it and the major economic impact of treating venous ulcers, the most severe form of CVI, is tremendous.
It is important to be able to diagnose CVI so as to treat the patient correctly and also in time.
