[QUOTE="miahara, post: 1608188, member: 256148"] I went to see my GP as I was experiencing pain in my legs when walking any distance and was diagnosed with PAD. I waited 7 months for a scan then another 3 months to see a consulatnt who spent about four minutes with me and told me he could operate but there was a chance I could lose a leg. I declined his kind offer! I've been prescribed Simvastatin and Clopidogrel an anti-clotting drug and have been taking them now for almost two years. Incidently, it was my initial blood test that identified my diabetes which I've now got pretty well under control though can't really do much about the PAD apart from keeping exercising. [/QUOTE]
