Thank you so much for your input! It’s true, I have no swelling in my ankles or feet or anywhere. I’ve recently had a ct of the lower extremities and of the carotid & coronary arteries which all showed minor plaques & I’m on statin and anti platelets meds. Doc has no recommendations for me which is why I posted on this site. I appreciate your response though and will continue to research why I have this intermittent weakness.
