She shares her story, where a visit to sports medicine after performing an explosive volleyball movement in college began a series of visits to Stanford Medical Center, doctor’s appointments, and more. She reflects on therapies, scans, evaluations, misdiagnoses, and vascular procedures before landing on Nutcracker Syndrome and May-Thurner Syndrome.
