What Causes Heaviness In The Limbs?
I am on Warfarin(Marevan) as I had an anuerysim on the descending aorta and had a piece of titanium put in (Bentalls Procedure) ever since I experience extreme cold from my stomach down most of the time and also have periods when my limbs feel very heavy. I have asked several of my doctors but have had no answers. Please can you give me some idea what is causing it. I am taking Prednisone for Temporal Arteritis 2mg at present but trying to come off it.

Hello,
Could it be claudication pain aka because of the weight of aneurysm and clips some blood supply is getting restricted. You need to be examined as we can’t be sure without it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
