lol at the socks …. Umm so they did RFA radio frequency ablation….. basically they cut me open and shoved a Catheter from my calf to my crotch (with a series of shots all up my leg) It hurt …. They would hit a nerve or a vein and it would jump …. Worse part was they wrapped me all up tight like a Mummy ….. I got claustrophobic and had anxiety/ a panic attack and almost got up and left (I just wanted to free my Arms!) other than that it went well ( hurt more than I expected tho) got 3 more procedures….. ( vein was bigger and longer and thicker then they expected) … all in all not bad

Glad you stuck it out - I get wicked claustrophobia in the most unexpected places myself

And I also get that a lot  ;D

Michael, one of the complications associated with RFA is that the patient undergoes a change in their voice. Men get a higher pitch and women a lower pitch after the procedure. Granted the RFA success rate for pain management or venous insufficiency is about 80%, but the downside is that you will sound like a 13 year old tranny once the process is complete.

And you are prohibited from masturbating for a year.

Okay….I might have made that last part up.

Glad to hear that you are doing well and hopefully the remaining work goes well.

No problem Michael.

I will be in Wellington Florida in March. If you live near there I will PM you and take you out for dinner.

So you don’t have to eat at the mall food court everyday.

I imagined Mike talking like Maggie Simpson. Can you make a talking video for us who are following the situation? It would be awesome if it got super high like if you inhaled helium lol. It goes away after a bit right?

This is true.  I have a doc that sources my OR for his Coolief procedures.  I have seen people come to the appointment in wheelchairs and leave walking with a cane.  For knees it is awesome.  Shoulders the success rate is slightly lower.  Some patients with bad cases have it done every few years.

Heal up quickly. Sounds like the operation/procedure was painful. Hopefully they will have you fixed up and you will be on the mend.

 I know you will work hard at rehab when you get the go ahead to do that. When I had rehab for an arm operation the physical therapist said she loved guys that lifted weights because she knew they would work hard to regain function. She said so many people come to physical therapy and think they don't have to work like it's a passive thing and the therapist does the exercises for them. Rightly or wrongly I also did rehab at home after leaving the Physical Therapist do my own stuff to get strength back. Started off with a 2lbs dumbbells and benching just the bar with difficulty when I got the go ahead for rehab. It will be long road back but hopefully not too long for you.  Don't be discouraged.

Mike, you're a good dude.  Get well, stay positive.  Your great attitude is your best weapon in the healing process.  Full confidence in you.  Keep it up and keep the faith.  You'll be back.
