Hello Julie, So sorry to hear you have got this miserable disease..

You need to see a Vascular surgeon most probably. Then try to find a doc
that specializes in pain management. Cause often times the Vascular surgeons
are very well meaning, but you can end up addicted to terrible amounts of
pain medication that a pain expert can help keep you off of.. Or at least
not get you hooked on something without knowing the ramifications of it all.


Hope this helps you,, Glad to see you were a smoker.. Please don't start
that up again,, Ask anyone here, there is not doubt it is directly related,
period....


prayers for the best for you

Barry
