Do you elevate your legs?

Elevating your legs reduces swelling and helps leg symptoms. Elevation reduces congestion in the legs and feet. Please tell us if you wish you could elevate your legs at work, but are too busy to do so! We need to document you are trying.

Insurance requires that you have daily, moderately severe symptoms, attempted Medical Grade Stocking use, elevation and avoidance of immobility.  You need to have tried either over the counter or prescription medications (e.g. NSAIDS such as ibuprofen or tylenol), weight loss, nutrition and exercise prior to approving procedures for vein disease.  

Pain Medication not helping with your leg symptoms?

Most vein disease is not significantly helped with Nonsteroidal or other pain medications. We need to carefully document that you have tried.
