💼 2 million missed work days every year. That's the real impact of venous disorders on working people.
Behind every statistic is someone dealing with pain, swelling, and discomfort that makes it hard to stand, walk, or focus at work. When your legs hurt, everything else becomes harder.

This isn't just about healthcare costs; it's about people missing important meetings, falling behind on projects, and struggling to provide for their families because of something that's often preventable or treatable.

Don't let vein disease get in the way of your life's work. You've worked hard to get where you are in your career. ™

When the news broke about President Trump's diagnosis, John Hogg spoke with KSAT 12 & KSAT.com to explain what chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is and why it shouldn't be ignored.

Dr. Hogg emphasized the importance of early treatment for symptoms like leg swelling or heaviness, urging patients to seek care from a qualified vein specialist. “It’s like walking around with jugs of water in your legs,” Dr. Hogg said, highlighting the long-term risks if CVI is left untreated.

If you are concerned about CVI or have leg swelling should seek specialized medical treatment.

The White House announced on Thursday that 79-year-old President Donald Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).

Ever wondered why some people have those blue, twisty veins while others just have spider veins?
It's like watching a slow-motion movie of your circulatory system! What starts as barely visible spider veins can gradually progress into something more noticeable.

Patient Story: Lisa, a retired teacher, thought her heavy legs were just "getting older." But when nighttime leg cramps kept her awake, she realized her veins were struggling to do their job. 😴

Here's what vein disease progression looks like:
➡️ Early: Spider veins, occasional fatigue, some swelling
➡️Moderate: More visible veins, regular aching, heavy evening legs
➡️Advanced: Bulging varicose veins, persistent swelling, cramping
➡️➡️The reality? Varicose veins aren't just cosmetic: they're a sign your circulation needs attention!

❗ Aching after work
❗ Heavy feeling when you wake up

Tired, achy legs? Cold hands and feet? You're not alone.

Sarah, a teacher, thought her heavy legs were just part of the job. Maria couldn't figure out why her hands were always cold, even in summer. Sound familiar?

Women are MORE susceptible to circulation problems than men (thanks, hormones! 🙄), but it affects everyone, especially those who stand or sit all day.

The good news? Simple changes can make a huge difference:
➡️Stay hydrated
➡️Take walking breaks
➡️Try compression socks
➡️Elevate your legs while watching TV

❗But if you're dealing with persistent swelling, cramping, or that heavy feeling that won't quit, don't just accept it as "normal aging." Your veins might need professional attention. Your legs carry you through life - they deserve some TLC! 💙
