Is my left leg pain after walking a sign of a medical issue?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen the report (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

It has occluded posterior tibial artery which is the cause of pain in the leg after walking. Also, there is a possible stenosis or block of the stent in common iliac vessels which is the possibile cause of limping.

Doppler or duplex report is just a suggestion to confirm the above-mentioned finding CT (computed tomography) angiography of the lower limb is mandatory. Continue the same treatment.

I will advise you one more drug to start. Please go through CT angiography so further management decisions can be planned.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. As per your previous report and current symptoms, this is a case of stent blockage. That is why symptoms reappeared. Also, there is a block in the tibial artery of the leg which is the reason of pain during and after walking.

Your medicines are fine. No need to change or modify but the problem is all the medicines are for prevention. Once a new block is there, then there is no use of medication.

Now the only treatment is a fresh angiogram, look for the block, removal of blocked stent, and placement of a new stent. This is the only treatment available as of now if you have symptoms. For all of these, you have to contact your vascular surgeon again.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
