doppler

[wild_cat]

Hi guys,

I wrote a post few weeks ago about having a doppler scan, well i've had it done and found mild PAD in my left leg, i'm shocked!!! i'm only 29, both arms and right leg are normal but left leg has weak pulse and low blood pressure. doctor has authorised low grade compression stockings to see how they go for now. i've not been told anything else as yet until my appointment next week. is it really something to worry about?

Loves hope everyone is well
