I am going to go to the appointments. If he does not find a problem I am hoping he can send me to an orthopedic doctor or a podiatrist. I really think that’s what I need

I received a report from my vascular surgeon today.
The conclusion on the DVT scan was no evidence of DVT seen and No reflux is seen.

The lower extremity arterial scan:
Minimal plaque see throughout
No increase in velocity seen.
Triphasic waveforms seen to the distal PTA and ATA

Conclusions: minimal plaque seen throughout bilaterally. No significant stenosis seen.

Have not talked to the doctor yet. Appointment tomorrow. Nov 22

Does anyone know if the No increase in velocity seen is good or bad?
