LEG PAIN WITH FEET GETTING COLD AT THE TIME OF LEG PAIN
by ERIKA
BOTH LEGS TEND TO GET A PAIN WITH A BURNING SENSATION THAT RUNS DOWN THE WHOLE LEG. THE KNEE ON DOWN TENDS TO HURT THE MOST. ESPECIALLY MY CALVES AND MY FEET. ALSO MY FEET GET COLD. IT LASTS ABOUT AN HOUR AND THEN GOES AWAY. ALSO MY BACK HURTS TOO. I HAVE NO WATER IN MY LEGS. I CHECK MY BLOOD PRESSURE WHEN IT OCCURS IT'S GOOD THIS TIME AROUND IT WAS 104/78 HEART RATE 67. IM ON DIOVAN HCT 80/12.5. CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM. THANKS. Hi Erika, Keeping in mind that I do not have the luxury of examining you, anytime you get pain in the lower leg and the leg turns cold that could be the sign of diminished circulation into the leg, even the possibility of a blood clot. I do not mean to alarm you but your symptoms are suggestive of that and for that reason you need to see a vascular surgeon immediately, who can at least rule that out. Make sure you do not delay in seeking treatment, this is very important. Marc Mitnick DPM
