FREE Dr. Mountcastle, CONSULTATION Thank you for the wonderful job you did for me! As you know, I had been suffering with severe throbbing, aches, and pains in my right leg for over two years. Sleeping at night was nearly impossible, due to the involuntary leg movements that occurred most nights. This caused me to have problems at work and in everyday life. All of this continued despite all my efforts to get relief (legs up on Mon & Fri: 8am-5pm Tues & Thurs: 7am-4pm Wed: 9am-6pm pillows, massages, Potassium pills, drinking lots of water, support hose, many different types of shoes, and leg exercises at least twice a day). Long stretches of sitting, especially in a car or on a plane, caused excruciating pain. I had seen several doctors with no relief. I prayed every night that I would get some relief and be able to sleep. Rarely did I have such luck. Diagnosed with "restless leg syndrome" and given medication for it, I got little to no relief. Convinced this was how I would have to spend the rest of my life, I saw an ad for Dr. Mountcastle. I had no idea 1217 Ewing Ave. Clearwater, FL 33765 this would be the best phone call I ever made. 22510 3637 4th St. N Ste 103 St. Pete, FL 33704 I made an appointment. At that meeting an ultrasound was performed which revealed an "insufficient saphenous vein." The vein was repaired in one session. After taking a "relaxation pill,” the procedure was performed in his 2323 Curlew Rd. (@ U.S. 19) Dunedin, FL 34698 center. The recovery was very rapid, with little to no pain.
