Hi My dad is 83 and suffers from extreme pain in his right leg, he has just recently had a doppler scan and blood tests etc, without any diagnosis. He has arthritis in his feet could this cause such pain in his legs? Exercise or lack of doesn t seem to either exacerbate or decrease the pain. I am trying to find anything that may help us to find an answer. Thank you. Jenny

Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, the feet arthritis will only pause issue with swelling around the ankle, pain in foot but not whole leg.
* Leg pain, cramps with edema may be possible issue of zinc deficiency, lack of protein or else.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
