My wife, 85 years old, Right leg outside from the shin to the toe, across the upper portion of foot, is having pain when attempting to walk. No recent injuries although gout was diagnosed about 10 months ago. No problem since that attack. She does have COPD, has had an angiogram last year, heart checked out fine. pain began just this morning when she got out of bed and tried to walk. breathing is fine, no shortness of breath.
