Venous Insufficiency

Today we have a case to evaluate for the presence of “ venous reflux”.
“Venous reflux” is a common abnormality due to valvular incompetence leading to the condition
known as venous insufficiency.

Doing this in clinical right now. Literally every single thing you have mentioned and becoming a pro at it might I add. Not only That, it's so important to identify reflux so that the veins can be fixed with minimally invasive procedures to improve quality of life. It's rewarding at the end of the day.

Currently studying for my RVT after passing Abdomen last week. Your AB review questions definitely helped! Now on to your vascular related videos! Thank you!

[@Hathor333]

Can you do a video on tributaries vs perforators please 🙏. Like ASAP!! Lol 😁🦋

[@markoooooable]

What is the best way to check for reflux- distal/ proximal compression or Valsalva?

[@sarmilabudhathoki3860]

Wow I am reading this for my coming RVT exam .You made it easy . Thank you 🙏🏻

[@SonographicTendencies]

You’re welcome!

my leg claudication used to be really bad 19 months ago. i ws limited to 15mins tops standing, walking. i had isolated injuries to my left saphenous nerve in the calf that is facing towards the right leg. that forced me use my right leg more, i developed daily pain and felt a pop in the ankle and a partial achilles tear. those two injuries were overlapping the claudication( or ischemia) and the symptoms amplified to very moderate from thigh to the toes in standing position. there was hip pain due to nerve length discrepancies. either my hip hurts and my feet feel ok, or my hips feels ok and my feet hurt. the peroneal nerve in my right leg got caught in the calf many times and caused an nerve entrapment inside my right foot. it changed locations every few months. from baxter's nerve to lateral plantar nerve. my feet was always cold, right one esp, with pale visibility, mild foot drop. only relief to reverse the claudication was to be in a supine position. and when i got my imaging tests done, they were done in a supine position. showing as mild. but when standing walking, bending, lifting light things constantly, the blood flow restriction gets moderate to severe with time until in supine position again. all this from july 2020 to october 2021. now seeing some relief after decompression exercises like pull ups. hanging helps the body to get loose. been doing this since i had my mri done in may 2021. but the claudication from my ligamentum flavum hypertrophy/ddd mild from L3-S1 bilaterally still persists....my leg raise used to be about 50 degrees. now 70 degrees.. the left saphenous nerve is mostly impacted by left ligament hypertrophy at l4-l5. mri wrote everything except ligament hypertropy. so the report is causing HUGE misunderstanding among physicians. they wont listen to me because I am not a professional. I spent 1 year learning about spinal and leg injuries. i refused epidurals due to lack of space in the lumbosacral region due to LFH. It would cause more harm to the compressed fibers in the ligament. cause of back leg injury: heavy lifting cases all day. 40lbs. excessive walking, stairs, standing. out of work 20months, income 0

How are u now?

[@sawyerdenti3727]

I’m a tech and didn’t know any of this

[@MrsHill-jw1se]

Why would my cardiologist order this due to swelling of my feet.

[@Haleysama12]

Because swelling of the feet can be related to various heart problems. Most cardiologists are also trained to treat vascular conditions as well, hence the term "cardiovascular"

[@0230Raveena]

Swelling of the feet can be related to edema where the valves in your legs are not working efficiently or not at all and blood pools in that area to cause the swelling.

[@eveoakley6270]

@@Haleysama12no they are not, a Phlebologist (vein scientist) is needed for that. Believe me I have been through it all but now cured after paying a specialist vein clinic in London. The Vascular surgeons or Cardiologist and a Dermatologist had not a clue how to work on small veins.
