What is Buerger's Disease?
Buerger's disease is a rare disease of the arteries and veins in the arms and legs. In Buerger's disease - also called thromboangiitis obliterans - your blood vessels become inflamed, swell and can become blocked with blood clots
Doctors aren’t sure exactly what causes this condition. Your genes might play a role. Some people may just be more likely to get it.
Some experts think that certain chemicals in tobacco might irritate your blood vessels, and that’s what makes them swell. Others think tobacco triggers your immune system to attack your blood vessels like they’re bad germs.
There’s no cure for Buerger’s disease. There are no treatment for pain relief except amputation. Other treatments may help boost blood flow and ease pain, including:
Medications such as vasodilators to widen your blood vessels or others to dissolve clots
Walking exercises
Intermittent compression of your arms and legs
Surgery to cut nerves to an affected area (sympathectomy)
Your doctor might need to cut off part or all of an area with infection or gangrene (amputation).
Researchers are also studying other treatments. Proteins called growth factors might speed healing and ease pain. Injections of stem cells, which can grow into other kinds of cells, may help your body make new blood vessels. Pain sucks... WEED HELPS!
