I thought that the consultant has advised returning to your GP, and 'suspects something vascular' ?

If you don't mind me asking, do you smoke, are you very overweight, hows your diet and do you exercise ? I know, lots of questions.....but leg vascular problems are more common in smokers and those who are overweight.

Why don't you ask your doctor if there is a pain control clinic at your local hospital? They can assess you and find the right pain control for you. Maybe then you can get some relief because you've had such a hard time recently.

Did you have a cholesterol check ? The pain clinic would be a good idea tbh ..Youve probably pulled something ,it can take weeks sometimes for it to get better ..T/C Sue x

At least the doctor seems to be trying to find out why you are having this pain, which is a good thing.
