Yes this is a new diagnosis for me. Well, this diagnosis has blind sided me. I ended up having to have my artery in my thigh open so blood would flow. My toe became gangrene because of lack of blood flow. I had to have my second toe amputated. I just need to talk with others with PAD.

Toes ain't so bad, but still sucks! I found that the docs di everything for me the insurance would pay for (stents both legs then arterial bypass with cadaver artery) but none worked. Amputation helped¿!
Best wishes
