PAD in left leg and pain on the bottom of left heel.

Posted by 22104011333113 - Stu @22104011333113, 1 day ago

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?

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.
