After my third pregnancy I noticed a knot on my inner thigh. That was the very last time I wore shorts. After two more pregnancies my knot had turned into a cord like vein that ran along my entire leg. My wardrobe co soared of ankle length dresses and jeans. I finally got the courage to just get it over with and take care of my veins before I cause further damage. The doctor I chose was very personable and kind. She explained everything she was doing and made this dreaded experience very tolerable. I can't wait to wear shorts again when I heal!!
