Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): After angioplasty

Posted by leongreenjr @leongreenjr, Aug 24, 2020

I had an angioplasty done on my left leg in may this year. Lately after I walk about a half mile my left calf starts to hurt to the point I have to stop for a few minutes. Is the blockage returning. If so do I need a stent. Leon

That’s what the doctor told also me
But I work, I’m a sales associate for goodwill and have no choice but to be on my feet.
I also smoke and am trying to quit but after 49 years it’s not easy , I have a lot of other medical problems and cirrhosis is one of them but I’m not a drinker , I was infected with hepatitis B and possibly hepatitis A I have other heart issues as well and need a lot of advice on how to help myself feel better.
That’s why I came to the
Mayo web site Mayo Clinic’s are the best when it come to health advice. I can’t afford to go to the
Mayo hospital’s for care but use the advice to help and educate myself about my illnesses
