I recently started with a new primary care doctor and he is unwilling to refill the prescriptions that I need for my bad heart, afib and in need of surgery to fix broken valves, and vascular problems that I believe resulted from that. I have circulatory issues in my extremities. My cardiologist has been refilling the medicines for my heart but wont fill my pentoxifylline medication stating that it is a vascular medicine and they can t touch that prescription. I haven t seen the original doctor who prescribed the original prescription and he is too far away to get to now. but the pentoxcifylline absolutely controls the advanced edema I have such that I get limited swelling and controls my celulities on my shins. without it in a matter of days my legs will swell to 3 times their size and I will have great weaping sores on my legs. what can I do? I am on living on soc sec retirement and don t have the money to go in and redo all the tests that brought me this solution.
