Could The Pain And Tiredness In Legs Be Due To PAD?

2.5 years ago I had an ankle replacement and last year was treated for Hodgekins Lymphoma. Chemo and radiation successful. Tried not to gain too much weight back but have gotten back to 250lbs about where I started. A couple of months ago tried to return to gym and walked on eliptical machine. Legs got tired very quickly. Since then any extended walking for just a few minutes leaves my legs hurting and I get tired very easy. Could it be PAD?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi you had ankle replacement 2.5 yrs ago , have put on weight , return to gym caused tiredness which is persisting now. In my patients , I would advise them against any active sports activity or any unusual load on ankle to prolong the life of implants. I suggest that you get an X ray to assess the position of implant and avoid abnormal loading of ankle joint.
