Darren has suffered from terrible leg pain for years and since August it has been unbearable. We have been to several Dr.'s,had test after test done and never found an answer. The first time it happened was 11 years ago when we were moving our friend from Garden City to Logan; we thought he had just stepped on his ankle wrong. The pain has been inconsistent and tolerable up until this August when it has been steady and excruciating. My sister, Jill, is in the advertising business and one her clients is a cardiologist that specializes in pain in the lower extremities (Utah Cardiovascular Center, Dr. Aguala). It truly is an answer to our prayers. Darren has a disease in the lower half of his legs where his "shut-off" valves don't work so blood doesn't pump back up to his heart; blood pools in the bottom part of his legs and his veins are double the size of what they should be. It is treatable and hopefully he will get surgery on his first leg next month. Dr. Aguala says it is a treatable disease and the procedure is easy. We are so thankful to have found him and are hoping for a leg pain free future.
