In this video, Dr Matt explains the two subtypes of peripheral vascular disease - Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) & peripheral venous disease (PVD), with respect to their causes, signs and symptoms, diagnosis and treatment/management.
Very good information it is so easy to follow whay does my leg not give me warning that this terrible pain in my left leg going down to my ankle is going to happen ittake 10min to come around thanks
About 12 years ago, I had a sciatic issue but through the piriformis...I have some numbness in hamstring, along right side of knee, and lower right ankle to side of right foot. I also have posterior tibial tendonitis from weight bearing, concrete warehouse work for +30 years, my right arch collapsed. I still have the numbness but can walk...recently I had my physical, and the Dr couldn't feel the right dorsal pulse. Could this be related to the tibial issue, or PAD...I am going to do an ultrasound. I had stress tests, echos for heart..some minor MVP, Carotid echo showed med blockage left proximal. Been on a statin since 2016, just started HBP meds 2022.
Can PAD Cause from a injury? I have a injury in my leg and the area has some numbness and it’s caused both my legs to become sore from my 2 injuries and cold and my arms
Thanks for your video, I’ve had both legs & 1 arm blood pressure checked after excruciating pain in the both bottom of my ankles leading up and forward towards my shin bones.. my dr told me to stop walking & twist my ankle round & round each leg a few times, then re walk slowly. I showed both the dr & the both nurses all my new & increasing spider veins & varicose veins on my bottoms of my legs.. my legs are swollen, always my right foot more than my left.. but they didn’t seem to care. They made me feel like a hypochondriac & my blood pressure is normal, so sorry but there’s nothing we can do. My legs, particularly my arteries are possibly full of cholesterol & like i was told to take aspirin & stop smoking. No more investigations needed apparently. Even though I’m an ex IV drug user..(9 years clean) & did tell them during this dark/self harming time in my life, I’ve accidentally hit an artery in my groin,,twice & also in my neck. Obv no liquid was possibly injected as the arteries have nerves & just pricking a pin prick hole caused a lot of hard to control blood loss..Eventually with pressure etc blood flow stopped,but each time, the surrounding skin was dark red, swollen up by double & felt like I’ve been pierced by a hot dagger. It was 1 of the worst pain, I’ve ever felt, after 40 years of plastic facial surgery, following a birth defect.. I also told the dr & the nurses that I get a vein/ artery fluttering feeling & due to where in my body it happens, like my upper arm for example if the next time is further down my arm, the next 1 will be around my wrist..(I can then feeling it returning up the other side) Also if it happens I’m my chest area, I can predict up or down depending on the next vein/arterial twitch..(this has happened during an appointment with a dr who says it was normal, whereas when it happened abt 10 yrs ago whilst i was an in patient for facial surgery & like ive says above I can usually predict.. the nurse caring for me, 1st listened with her stethoscope & took my pulse & blood pressure & they where going to arrange to inject a dye into my artery & put me through some machine thinking it could be a small clot, but due to knowing the pain of touching any artery with the smallest of needles, I refused to do it. Bc I knew if they didn’t put me to sleep I would’ve screamed the hospital down & poss during the produce needed restrained etc & it would’ve have been pretty or maybe even traumatising for the nurses not to mention myself..) Why they refused to do that procedure immediately before or after my facial surgery ive no idea…!? They could’ve gotten to the bottom of my arterial problem years ago, whilst I was unconscious & the cholesterol in my arteries was a lot less than now. As also around that time I was told I had a gall stone. Which now I have 2!! (Bc they refused to give me whatever treatment reduces their size & then do key hole ops) but wanted to cut from my sternum to my navel & I’d says no ive enough scars on my body.. I think I’m going to get a blood clot or poss have a heart attack or pulmonary embolism or worse, a stroke.. (out of all those I’d rather have a heart attack as it’s treatable on the pathetic NHS in Scotland) if I have a stroke, ive no chance & no doubt will be left disabled down 1 side & a lifetime burden upon my family. I’d rather buy a gun…🤍☮️ LOVE & PEAC WITH GRATITUDE FROM SCOTLAND. UK🏴💙
NO , Stripping of varicose veins in PVT is old fashioned and painful . Laser ablation of varicose veins is non invasive and quicker recovery ; also no mention of treatment of venous ulcers which frequently occur . Generally a poor presentation which skirted around the subject .
Then pause the video and replay the portions you didn't understand. He's compressing a one hour lecture into a 15 minute video. I think he's done a fantastic job. I understood all of it.
