Chronic vein insufficiency and other venous problems

I was first diagnosed with May thurner and pelvic congestion and as it’s now lead to CVI I am feeling really low. I have a consultation next Friday regarding my next steps for this.

I have veiny legs, but nothing too noticeable, however the pain is unbearable, I’m assuming because they are not surface level it is harder to treat?

I am treating May thurner first but in terms of the CVI, what do people advise?

Excluse my ignorance, what is ablation meant to do if if the blood only reroutes and potentially causes more issues?

Fingers crossed targeting May Thurner will relieve some issues, but what about the already damaged veins in my legs. I used to be super fit, now I can barely walk up the stairs.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thank you
