Hi, I can walk about 2 blocks before stopping for about 2 minutes because of left leg pain ( Doppler test show 50% blockage) and heel pain.
Heel pain ( like piercing needles or burning) can come anytime like when sitting or driving.
Any comments?

Thank you for your comments
Hello @22104011333113,
I combined your discussion with an existing discussion in the Heart & Blood Health support group, titled:
"Pain in the back of my heels"
- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/heels/
This discussion was started by @melugin and members @hooman, @harveywj and @4aces4me all shared their thoughts and experiences.
Have you had a chance to share this symptom with your provider since your test results?
You had a doppler test showing 50% blockage of what part of your anatomy and where is it blocked? And what is causing the blockage?

Hi there
Due to the fact that you have rest pain and already had a doppler you and your physician know about prior history of ambulation which is important in your case.It seems to me you have limb ischemia with clinical presentation of acute ischemia. In addition it seems to me you are probably aware of medical and surgical treatment since you have been through the peocessof diagnosis.
Only thing I'd like to emphasize is that prognosis improves with successful, EARLY recascularization.
