[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1109104, member: 41816"] Just to clarify, I think that if your doc was checking for a pulse in your feet and legs, then he was checking for blood supply, not nerve damage. Did he do any tests for sensation (touching or gently pricking the feet and legs)? It is perfectly possible to have neuropathy (nerve damage) while having good blood supply. And likewise, you can have a bad blood supply and have no neuropathy. Not meaning to criticise your doc, but just wanted to clarify with you that he had done tests for both - which he may have done without you realising what the tests were for. [/QUOTE]
