I don't have Vascular disease - but I have cervical degeneration, OD of hip and my spine (lower) is degenerating So I know what pain is - I can'tgo under the knife either heart and lung - I have Bladder Cancer op under a Spinal.

I have not had the long lasting morphine. to be honest I don't want it. I have Oramorph and can take up to 10mg up to 6 times a day, Can't have morphine at night because of clash with other meds.

I can't help you as I don't have Vascular disease - but sure am a soulmate with pain.

Do you take Blood Thinners or AC for your Vascular disease - pain?

Hi, not time to do much research but the enclosed link might be worth a read and at least provide info to ask your doctor about. Take care and best wishes, Chris.

I don't have you're issues so I'm unable to give any guidance I hope someone on forum can maybe share an experience on same issue that might help

are you not able to even have sedation as opposed to a general anaesthetic, or maybe that is not what you were referring too? I know someone who has a very similar medical condition vascular wise, but not bronc, and had an angioplasty dome in the left leg almost a year ago and one in the right leg about six weeks ago and it was done under sedation and not a general anaesthetic.

Thank you for that I whis they would offer me that they just say I'm to fail but so nice of you to get back to me ty .

It’s really hard to believe there is nothing they can do for you. The incision to insert the angioplasty is very small so don’t understand they can’t do this procedure. Obviously they no better than I do. Sure hope you can find a way to get help.
