Has anyone been offered Supervised Exercise classes for PAD

Hi

I have PAD and have never been offered any exercise classes despite this being the optimum treatment and recommended by NICE.

It makes me pretty frustrated and cross when I read how our Cardiac friends are offered cardiac rehab and how “social prescribing”is going to be increased, but that those of us with PAD seem to be ignored.

Have I got it wrong?

Just read this. I haven't but know someone who has.

If I were you I'd phone your Vascular Consultant's secretary or Nurse and ask to be referred to the exercise class.

Or maybe you already got it sorted? Hope so.

Not what you're looking for?
