Experiences with

Peripheral artery disease

So yes, I’m trying the statins because they are supposed to help prevent dementia and my mother had Peripheral Artery Disease which led to her death. So that was bad news, but as I’m 80 is the fact that they’re concerned about the next 10 years good news? Not been written off yet 🤣

This week I spend time in A&E and tests indicate I have bilateral peripheral artery disease and a small blood clot. My legs are weeping and extremely sore. I'm already on clopidogrel due to a stroke late 2022 and other meds for BP etc.

is getting a numb foot when walking a typical symptom on Peripheral Artery Disease? Also, for people who only have Peripheral ArteryDisease and NOT CAD, can I ask what medication you are on? Thank you warriors!

I was prescribed 20mg of Atorvastatin about a month before I was diagnosed with Peripheral Artery Disease. I experience very severe clarification pain and am worried I may need a higher dose of Atorvastatin. What are others experiences?

It's 10 months since my surgery and the other week after visiting A&E an ultra sound indicted I have bilateral peripheral artery disease and a small blood clot.

I do have Peripheral Artery Disease in my left leg but no pain or restrictions in my arms. She did manage to take blood from my left arm. Is this something to worry about? oh, I’m taking Clopidogrel, Atorvastatin and Famotidine.

Short version - a combination of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and some nerve impingement between L3 and L4 has caused me difficulty in walking any distance, or even standing stationary for any time.

Have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, peripheral artery disease. But to be honest, I feel lucky. Had surgery for PAD in April. Big deal. Major bypasses to provide blood flow to legs, stent in left leg. Doing great, walking,etc. That was the first time I ever needed surgery.

Nothing helped, went to the drs several times (phone appts) just gave me different pain killers etc. 6 weeks later I got intense calf pain on walking, googled it ….PAD a peripheral artery disease….. contacted GP again had a Doppler, blockages in both legs.

I have recently been diagnosed with PADSymptoms are a cold right foot and ankle area which I've had for 10+years but no pain or swelling I've been referred to the Vascular clinic but there is a 27 week wait Has anyone else been diagnosex with this and if so what treatment Thanks

If that flow is restricted even more, the loss can lead to peripheral artery disease and all the painful symptoms that go with it. Frequently, you will develop aches in your feet and legs when you’re active. Your skin may become discoloured and develop slow-healing sores.

Hi, I have been given the Clipper 5mg tabs to take for a month. I have a serious Inflamation in the bowel area.i have been taking them a week and the last few days have developed rls and strong cramps. Increased dramatically tonight. Do you think there is a connection. Thank you

Hello everyone, thank you for letting me join. Does anyone have any experience with these two conditions? My husband developed both so he leans forward and to the right which makes sitting in a chair very difficult. They are investigating Parkinson’s plus syndromes at the moment but he doesn’t quite

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone is able to recommend something to help me with pain either caused by or coming along with the wearing of my compression garments. I wear class 4 Juzo Compression (both legs) - recently (over a period of months) the left one has started to cause considerable pain on the front

I have been on Pregabalin 225mg for 4 months.I have been feeling very low and having very negative thoughts for the past month after work and family issues. Could it be Pregabalin since I didn't have thus problem for the first 3 months?

About 4 weeks ago I had an appointment at the Barberry Centre, Birmingham and was prescribed Targinact 2.5mg tablets and am taking 1 tablet at 10.00 pm daily which has eliminated all night time RLS. 😆 Instructions from Consultant are “to reduce pregabalin to target dose of 250/300mg. Concurrently, gradually

I had some kind of ankle injury and consultant thinks it's ligament damage. But since doing the ankle stretching exercises (and before then a bit) my foot on the sole constantly feels cold and sort of wet as if my sock is wet when it's not. I think the consultant has missed some kind of nerve damage.

I saw professor Oliver Bandmann who advised that he's slowly running out of ideas, since Pregabalin and Gabapentin didn't work for me after augmentation. I got a prescription for Targinact 5mg/2.5mg from him. I hope that my GP will prescribe this on repeat and that this will help me to get my life
