Hi ... this query is for my father. He is 57 yrs old. Some 6 months back he is getting pain in his left leg, and he consulted many doctors he is taking medicines but without painkillers, no relief is there. His pain is bearable while he is taking rest but when he has to walk, it will start paining. what shall he do?
Hello, It might be due to occlusive peripheral vascular disease, where the blood supply to the lower limb is compromised and give rise to pain. Consult a vascular surgeon and plan for an arterial Doppler. Other possibilities like peripheral neuropathy has to be ruled out. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
