I do not have the leg cramping, pain, restlessness at night, and tiredness anymore. The swelling has definitely gone down, as well. Dr. Purpera explains things very well and very thoroughly.

The soreness, stinging, and heaviness is gone. The swelling has gone way down, also. The discomfort and the itchy feeling is gone. The itching was the worst.

I used to have severe cramping in my legs and feet. They have totally disappeared along with the heaviness. My legs and feet used to go numb also, there was poor circulation. All of that has greatly improved! The doctor was great, and the staff was always amazing!
