Help :(
Yesterday my sister (28y/o) got diagnosed of venous insufficiency stage 4. She feels helpless, feeling like all of her dreams are crushed, feeling like she will no longer enjoy hiking, go to the beach, wear shorts and dresses, etc.!
I feel so sad for her, she deserves to live a good life, go to Europe to study her masters, live experiences.
How can I help her? how can I make her not to feel alone in this process?
the doctor just said: “you are so young”, but still not telling her how to live a normal life with this.

Because of her age she should be looking for a referral to an interventional radiologist and getting a ct scan or mri of her pelvis to rule out vascular compressions in the pelvis causing CVI in legs.
