I have had this for a few years. Contact at gmoorman@erols.com Surgery provides a mortgage payment on the doctor's yaght, a hole in your pocketbook, and 6 months of recovery; all to find out that it was a waste of time. Learn to live with it. These things I have found helpful: to add ice packs and raise the feet onto a pillow, while laying down. Humidity in summer aggrevates the problem. Smoking cigarettes also aggrevates it. Eating garlic often reduces symptoms. The garlic creates better blood flow in the vein which is in the tunnel; providing more oxygen to the problem area, thus allowing some healing.
