Does Lack Of Blood Circulation In Legs Suggest Nerve Problem?

yes. What is done by a vascular doctor? My Foot doctor (Joanne N. Balkaran, D.P.M.) did some sonography testing in her office on my legs and as a result recommended/referred me to Dr. Pao (# 343-1158). So far I have not set up an appointment because I do not want to be treated like a guinea pig unless it is for a differential diagnosis leading to cure me rather than going no where except back and forth from clinics. My main reason is my neurologist said that I have a nerve problem after testing ( polyneuropathy or something) on both legs while the foot doctor says I have circulation problem. Thus, I am concern about getting treated like an yo-yo. Thanks in advance for you help. Rashmikant Patel My e mail address is RMPPHARM@YAHOO com.

Circulation and nerves are different systems.You can have pain in your legs and needs to check circulation with arterial doppler ultrasound and nerve conduction with nerve conduction studies/YOu can have both problems,mostly if you are diabetic.
