I would recommend you wear a correctly measured and fitted compression hose as part of your after care daily and for any flights. Ace wraps are never the same, tend to be uncomfortable and fall down

If you had treatment of a leg ulcer and especially if the ulcer was due to venous insufficiency then you should wear either a compression bandage or compression hose during the flight. Compression will help to increase the venous return and reduce the high venous pressure.

The laser stem end was broken and full power was applied at 200 milliamps. The Great Saphenous vein was burned and shut approximately 80%. I have nerve damage. Will a stent fix this? The pain is extreme. Will serapeptase or dracena and poly gonom help? What about clexane, warfarin, or serrapeptase in the vein directly? Would cutting the vein with a scalpel help? I believe they damaged the vein on purpose.
