Toward the end of the day and in bed I get pain in y left foot or ankle much like described on TV for persons with diabetes yet I do not have or ever have had that illness but I have had vascular surgery to improve circulation. The pain feels like numerous pins sticking me. Cause?
This needs a vascular surgeon to evaluate and treat. It seems like you may have peripheral vascular disease affecting your arteries-the arteries bring blood flow from heart to extremities- when you lay down, your legs elevate from the dependent position and the blood flow slows to your extremities. At the end of the day your leg may swell from venous insufficiency and that may further compress the arteries.
