Ulceration of leg vein.

I had traveled the US in hopes to find a doctor who could treat a ulcerated vein in my right leg. This is a family history of poor blood circulation. I even traveled to Minn. to the Mayo Clinic because of their reputation of Dr's. To my disbelief they were no help in my case just wanting me to wear unna boots and keep my leg leveled. Finally I found a doctor in Arkansas who looked at my leg and said he could fix it. I was so hysterical that I could have kissed him. He took me in surgery and did a surgical procedure on me to take care of this matter. I also had to wear the unna boot for a period of 10 wks. But now the pain is gone, and my wound has healed up 100percent. I owe my better living life to this one doctor and I will never forget him. My sister had the same problem, same leg, same ankle and he did the same procedure on her, and she is almost 100 percent recouped. This originated thru my father who had the same problems, but never had a dr. at the time to deal with this. Anyone who would like further information on this doctor can email me at tuni@cox-internet.com. Thank you have a good day.
