Suggest Remedy For Difficulty In Walking Long Distance With History Of PAD
I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH PAD...IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO OTHER THAN PUTTING IN A STINT IN MY LEG ARTERY TO HELP ME WALK FARTHER WITHOUT STOPPING TO REST THE LEGS? I TRY TO EXCERCISE, BUT THE LEGS BECOME SO UNCOMFORTABLE IT S HARD TO DO FOR AN EXTENDED TIME. I AM AN 83 YR. OLD FEMALE AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ACTIVE, BUT THIS HAS CERTAINLY SLOWED ME DOWN..THANKS...

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you have not gone through the stenting then it is best advisable to get it done but even after the stent you may be in need of some medicines too, till then rest is important, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
