My father has leg pain from last 15 days.he has uder gone angioplasty 2 months before and laproctomy for pyralatic ileus 1 month before.so regarding pain to whom i have to refer whether neurologist or vascular surgeon,kindly reply ASP
I would suggest you to show it to neurologist first as it looks to me that most probably it is pinch nerve in the back. If there is nerve compression he may need to get MRI to confirm the diagnosis. I do not think vascular surgeon can help him.
