Your lecture is so so nice crispy clear. Even you are giving many additional point and clue from clinical- physical examination. You are just superb. Salute to you sir. We would surely recommend your educational videos to our students. We do many yoga related courses in Mumbai
At age 76 I have intermittent pain in both legs and shortness of breath.Moments when I start walking I need to stop to recover over and over again. And yet my VA doctor says my Doppler test was within normal limits so I do not have PAD of the legs. In spite of my symptoms she refuses to let me be actually examined by a vascular surgeon. So much for the PACT act😩
Many thanks, I've been looking for "how long does an ultrasound of the leg take?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Siyulianor Salient Supremacy - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a great one off product for discovering how to Getting Rid of varicose Veins minus the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my colleague got cool success with it.
Hello, i would like to ask, If someone get aortoilliacal stenosis for example, isn't it the pain should be from buttocks to the toe? Not only on buttocks and the thigh.??
Very nice lecture sir,I suffered above deasese,pl Give advice for totally cure,I done angioplasty and take xarelto 2.5twice daily and ecosprin Gold but still pain continue
Its true in the beginning stages but everything changes when it becomes occluded. I now have bilateral occlusions of SFA right and SFA-Popliteal arteries in the left. Because of COVID i had to wait 3 months to get into a Cardiologist. Had an ultrasound showing severe stenosis and in those 3 months it went straight into occlusion. Finally had a angiography showing complete occlusion that was and that it was calcified heavily. The collaterals are working and the Cardiologist just wants to do medical management with Plavix and Oxycodone. It is the worst pain you can experience these are very blockages and am going for a second opinion.
I only get outer upper thigh and hip/buttocks discomfort when sleeping on left side. Its mild and I don't get pain during the day when walking distances. Is this PAD?
I'm 42 and I've had to deal with this since I was 18. It's normally something that ails people over the age of 60, so I don't know... I started smoking as a teenager, so I'm sure that had something to do with it. But it didn't take years for the pain to appear. It was almost instantaneous. And even though I stopped smoking almost 4 years ago, there has been no improvement at all. I've noticed that the pain is tolerable if I fast for a week or two. Eating healthily alone doesn't help. But it seems as if, when I lose weight, I'm suddenly lighter, and therefor less pressure is put on the calf muscles. As things are right now, I have a few extra pounds on me. I've never been fat or obese, but it would appear that I can only avoid the pain if I'm underweight. And whenever I'm not, as is the case right now, I can walk half a block at best before I have to top and rest. And the pain is excruciating! When I touch my lower legs, the muscles are rock hard and swollen, as if I've just spent a couple of hours at the gym. But doing any sort of real exercise is impossible. I've heard that there may be surgery available. Perhaps that might be worth looking into? Right now, I have to take a taxi whenever I leave the house (don't own a car), and it gets extremely expensive in the long run. So being able to walk normally is worth anything to me.
I´m not sure that you have peripheral artery disease based on what you mentioned. I would go to a vascular surgeon and investigate if that really is the case. From what you say, it sounds more like Compartment syndrome.
@@drandrasfazakas Isn't that more often than not related to having had a previous bone fracture? I've never broken anything. But I will book an appointment right away. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you for this information. What happens if the person can walk for long distances with no pain. I do not get pain, I just get very cold feet & lower legs, when I'm sitting and sometimes when laying down but never when walking. Also loss of hair on lower legs. I hand no ulcers Now that I'm thinking about it, my nose & hands get cold at times too.
Hello. I am a Male. 35 years old. I don't smoke drink or do drugs. I have been working factory for almost 14 years. I first started feeling this weird tingling feeling behind my right knee. A couple of days later I had aches. Felt like my legs wasn't getting circulation. I can walk just fine until my leg starts to hurt. Even when I masterbate (sorry if its tmi) my legs feel like they are gonna go numb. I seen my cardiologist and he said my circulation in my feet is but he barely even touched my feet. Could I have a case of pad? My doctor says I just might have nerve damage in my legs,but idk about that
What was your symptoms? My hips, legs hurt, it hurts to walk, my right side is effect the most, knee tightness, dehydration, dry skin, hot, warm skin, blue toes, I'm over 35 ,smoker, walker, I work in the medical field
I had a weak groin pulse so my doctor sent me for an ABI (without the exercise component). It was normal. However, I have brittle toenails, it's hard to walk up stairs, my leg hair hardly grows anymore, and my thighs always hurt. My heels are always dry now, even in summer and my feet get cold. Is it possible for the ABI to be normal and something gets missed?
The patient must walk one minute before examination, isn't it?ABI is not possible without any pain while walking but feeling very heavy legs and getting tired?

my problem is I have pain when I STOP walking, it's a bad burning in the lower part of my legs, I also have 2 of the 3 arteries in BOTH legs have blockages in them, as well as being told I have something called venous stasis, I have no problems healing from any injury or surgery to my feet or legs, but the burning goes away when I'm walking, as soon as I stop, or sit down from my knees down to my ankles start burning really bad, I also suffer from charlie horses, the level 10+ infinity are the ones that hit my upper thighs, those cause the leg muscles to tense up causing me to fall, due to them curling up, normally end up on the floor curled into a ball bawling my head off due to the pain, thankfully I don't get ones that go full force very often, IF I catch them soon enough I can walk them off, but am limping so bad I have to rely on holding onto the walls to not fall over, have been to 4 different Dr's and every single one of them tell me that the burning pain is "normal" as we get older our veins and arteries stretch, and that I have to get used to the burning pain that they can't help me....and well personally I do NOT want to live another 40+ years with pain so bad I'm either constantly walking to keep it at bay or laying down with my feet hiked up, I have edema in both lower legs, bottom part of my legs swells up, trying to find clothes that fit me is hard because any real pressure against my legs makes the burning even worse, am at a loss as to what to do as all the Dr's I've been to have told me they can't help me and to get used to the burning, am also a type 2 diabetic, who's sugar levels are stable and very well, last A1C was 6.9, any idea at who I can see to try to get help before I LITERALLY end up losing my legs? I live in Brooklyn Park Minnesota please advise Dr. Fazakas
FYI a couple of times when the upper thigh charlie horses have started, the pain started at the groin area on the inside of the thigh then went to the upper thigh, but most of the time the pain starts right in the upper thigh...the other charlie horses have been in the calve area....not to mention sever lower back problems, I see a back dr every other week to get relief, it doesn't hold very long tho....as a result I am on disability as I can't walk long distances without my back or knees giving out...my life currently sucks
i got a dvt today it was realy painful i took 4 x 250000 ius serrapeptase and 4 x 6000 fus nattokinase 8 hours later its gone thank fuck for that too when i say it hurt i aint kidding
Hello, I am a 21 female and have had lower calf pain for nearly 3 years now. I can only run for a couple of minutes before my leg goes numb and heavy. Once I rest for a few minutes I feel like I can go ahead again. All four of my grandparents have diabetes. I can feel my pulse in my hip but I cannot in my knee. I think this could maybe be my diagnosis, I have been through the medical system for the three years trying to figure it out only to be referred to physio three times. What are your thoughts?
My arteries were blocked from groin down to foot 80% to 100% so my Dr unblocked them and put stents in left leg and balloons in right leg in July 2019. My leg pain when walking never went away. I quit smoking cigarettes 5 months ago and I still have pain.What should I do? Why do I still have leg pain when walking?
check out apigenin , dispin and hesperiden they improve blood flow in the legs check out serrapeptase and nattokinase and lumbrokinase you take all 3 together on an empty stomache they clear arteries start taking mon to fri with food 20000 ius vit d3 and 2 x 1000mg caps cod liver oil may as well make the immune system strong approx 3 hours later take with food 500mcg vit k2 the vit k2 clears the arteries ,then theres the expennsive route iv phosphatidylcholine they say 20 x 3 hour iv treatments clears every artery in the body 2nd iv edta therapy 3 rd the stuff i said
I had doctors perform two of the test that you mentioned. On the Doppler they only check the veins that run down the middle of your legs. I was having pain in the back of my legs my thigh and calf and foot. They checked the back calf but couldn't see anything. they said blood clots only happen in the main veins. on the ABI the guy said he didn't see anything either but I think I need to have that one repeated because he seemed to be having problems with the machine. I'm just so frustrated cause they never see anything. I don't know what's going on but sometimes my leg just goes cold. then my foot hurts. one calf is slightly bigger than other but everytime I go two the doctor they say it's nothing serious and want to just give me pain pills. anyways I'm starting to think that it is pad like you said or because my ferritin is low.
I understand. If these tests are negative, then it´s not likely that you have Peripepheral artery disease. Since you have pain, it´s important to search for the cause of it. What is needed is a good differential diagnosis, which simply means that we try to find the correct disease out of many possible causes of leg pain. Here I write a small list, that you and your doctors can consider: 1. Popliteal entrapment syndrome 2. Adventitial cystic disease 3. Vasculitis4. Ergot use for migraines5. Nerve root compression 6. Lumbar neurospinal canal compression7. Diabetes8. Alcohol abuse9. Chronic venous disease10. Compartment syndrome in Athletes
K Slim I'm deaLing with something similar . It's frustrating. You don't want anything to be wrong but you know something isn't right and the drs don't figure it out. How are you doing now?
@@mikebanks4935 Did you get dizzy and have pain one sided in your fingers,arms and leg sometimes your legs get shakey and you feel like your going too fall or worse? My stomach pulsates like a heart beat sometimes always thought it was my kidneys because i have kidney disease and i have had flank pain in both sides before and chest pains in both sides crap i have been eating fresh ginger daily too help inflamation in my body for my kidneys that would not cause internal bleeding would it??? I went too the ER alot since last July just went the weekend before last they keep focusing only on my heart too see if it's a stroke,heart attack or anyerisum. My WBC elevated and my red or hemoglobin is lower. I have had quite a few full body CT and MRI scans done though. Will PAD make you feel short of breath or like something is blocking your airway???
Angie,have them do a scan for an ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEUYRISM. That can be anywhere from the aorta at the level of your ribs, down to the femorak areries.
It seems like pretty much the thing im having, as a 20 year old. I have the same description what you call claudation and one of the worst things, always cold feet. (really painfull indeed) I started even noticing change of color on both of my ankles. It makes me really depressed thinking of having to leave (and die) with it. The cause? Who knows, im skinny, eat healthy and never smoked or drinked. Thanks for the video, appreciate it.
If you eat healthy and have never smoked and don’t consume alcohol and keep a moderate level of exercise it’s very unlikely you’ll have PAD, it’s more associated with age and people who smoke and drink heavily.
My leg pain makes me stop walking but then I have a severe burst of pain that runs through the whole legs. This lasts for few minutes upon stopping activities. I have spinal stenosis, high cholesterol, and nueropathy. Stairs are the worse cuz when I'm done climbing them, I can't move due to the rush of pain down my legs. Is this the same
These are some things that can cause Peripheral artery disease: 1. Smoking2. Hypertension3. Diabetes4. Hyperlipidemia5. Obesity6. Homocysteinemia7. Heavy metal exposure (arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury)Try to avoid all the things above. Most of the diseases in the world can be prevented by a healthy diet and regular exercise. But once you get a disease, it´s very important to accept medical therapy from medical doctors. Try to avoid people who says that they can cure any disease by some diet alone. As I said, diet and exercise are VERY important for prevention, but once your body gets destroyed by an unhealthy lifestyle, then medical therapy is needed TOGETHER with diet and exercise.
Please could you tell me how long I will have this P.A.D. and neuropathy pain in my feet and toes as I have been a non smoker for 2 years and I eat healthy foods and I try and exercise my legs and feet walking around trying to push my distance and I'm again in severe pain so could you tell me what I need to do thank you
