I have just been diagnosed with occlusion of the fibular arteries on both of my legs.
It started with a frozen feeling in my feet, which are often cold.
In neuologist confirmed it is not norapathy.
So a CT scan was done with injection of iodine to a video this condition..
I have been referred to a cardiologist, but they have not yet called me.
Can anyone clarify what happens from this point on?
Thanks! Vivianne

Hi, vivianne777. My experience was similar. Concerned that I might have developed blood clots in my legs causing occlusions there, my PCP prescribed ultrasound imaging which found no clots! Looking into my abdomen, my gastroenterologist prescribed a CT Scan which yielded a detailed report by a radiologist who was most revealing. I hope that whoever ordered your CT Scan gave you a copy of the report, which would have been a primary basis for you and your physician to decide on a treatment plan. Martin
