Hello, today I had a vein surgery, everything is fine now, after about half an hour, so what was happening, I had some injection done in my leg and then they introduced anesthetic inside and after this it was connected with a wire which have this laser but when they introduced the laser I was feeling very weak it was my leg and my hand getting very weak and I start to be dizzy but then yeah after a few minutes I just recover myself the doctor said this is normal in some cases it depends on the person to person yes after this yeah they start basically to burn out the vein inside and there was a few more pinches like injection but that was like fine it's just it's just normal yeah it's normal pain like a needling and after the surgery was done I have these socks up to here which I have to keep it for one or two weeks and yeah important as the doctor said just to keep exercising and move every hour is this this this kind of pain in my arm and my leg which was very unusual it was like I started to be dizzy probably just to read the leaflet they have and probably listen to the doctor before because everyone will have full information of what is going to happen. Just listen carefully and then you will know step by step what was described as a procedure. I'm just feeling okay now so I'll be here for 20 minutes and then, as the doctor said, I just can go as normal and carry on with my activities.
