An ultrasound indicated that I have a highly likelihood of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome and have been referred to a vascular surgeon. Will they do any further testing? If a surgery is needed, will I be on crutches? How long does it take for the knee to heal? How many days will they keep me in the hospital?
