My dad had advanced PAD in both legs. The surgeon was originally going to do a stent in just one leg, but once the cardiologist said his heart was in good shape, that changed to what the surgeon thought was the better option - aortic bifemoral graft. That was supposed to essentially repair the large areas of blockage in both legs. So last month, I took him to the hospital for the surgery. Unfortunately, while the surgery was apparently technically successful in terms of placing the graft, he never woke up and died two days later. I believe the surgeon was a good doctor and I know he did everything he could to try to save my dad - he stayed late into the night the first night even though the surgery had started that morning. I don't know why I'm even typing this. I guess because they said at the end something about commenting experiences with PAD. I guess I just wanted to put those words out into the aether or something.
My issue was an aneurysm in a peripheral artery. The initial bypass surgery was successful, but a complication arose about three weeks later. Dr Chan welcomed me to the ER at 4:00 one morning in late February (she's not my surgeon). Four more surgeries seem to have the plumbing issues resolved, but now I'm waiting to have a consultation with an electrician. Long process but great staff at the hospital. Thanks for the great information.
I have PAD, both legs affected. 65% blood flow. I initially went to a 12 week program 3 times a week for a walking program. It worked and and gave me the ability walk with less discomfort. I walk 4k+ steps a day. Not non stop I need to rest occasionally. My doctor doesn't see any need for surgery unless I worsen.
In every episode I can sense that all day long as you deal with patients, YOU are constantly reminded of how important good nutrition and good lifestyle habits are to having a better body with less problems down the road. It’s never too late to start. Thanks for crafting these videos so we can learn really key stuff that will improve our lives.
Thank you, I have just been diagnosed with PAD in the right leg. Waiting for a CT scan Wish my Vascular Surgeon was more informative about different out comes and procedures.
Thanks again to the Talking With Docs channel. Another informative video from the medical profession! Respect to Dr.s, in all fields for the work you do! Always hungry for more info. about medicine and the medical practice. Long time fan of these vlogs.
Another great video - thank you!! I've had PAD for twenty years. Had an angioplasty done early on. After that I walked a minimum of an hour a day until the pandemic and felt great. Then I stopped my walks. It didn't take long for the pain to reappear. Now I can't walk to the sidewalk without pain. I have my diabetes, cholesterol and blood pressure under control. I still do my best to get that hour of walking a day in even if it hurts to the point of tears. Not complaining though. Recently had another ankle-brachial test and am awaiting the results. While fattening, I'm curious if small intakes of olive oil are recommended.
Great information! I can't imaging how Dr's must feel when folks become their own worst enemy if they choose to not do the things in the life style arena that can make a big differrence
Thank you for all of the information you give on each topic you talk about. Do you know anything about Necirobiosis Lipoidica Diabeticorum? I am seeing a Dermatologist for this and she has been treating it with topical medications. This has been going on for about 3 years and I am just wondering if there are any other treatments for it. And, yes, I am a diabetic. Thank you.
When you figure that these diseases take time to develop,it makes sense that exercise would not heal this overnight. Bottom line is to take care of yourself before it gets to this stage. As you keep telling us we are in charge of our own life and it’s up to us to take care of ourselves.
My dad died from it, 10 years ago. When I was a kid, they offered him by-pass surgery but he refused. He was dead within 3 days after throwing a clot in his leg. The Vascular Surgeon ordered Contrast CT and it was discovered he was calcified pretty much up to his kidney area. Minimal blood flow. They offered amputation to the one affected eg, then the other occluded on our way to the OR. At 76, he wouldn't have made it off the OR table, it was that bad. It was one of the hardest decisions I had to make re DNR. Some things we can't control, but many we can. It's never too late to start something for the better.
I was caregiver to an older man who suffered from peripheral arterial disease... with treatment late in game age 76, he live extra 13 years... but sadly lost both legs and with stage 4 congestive heart failure (going into treatment at age 76) it gradually got worse, heart could not pump blood to remaining leg then he died of infection from gangrene as he refused surgery to remove his 2nd leg until bacteria from gangrene had spread to his gut (then gangrene infection which the drugs could not take away slowly took his life, this took approximately 8 months for him to die) and he died at age of 89. This was heart breaking. Treatment early and blood flow monitoring every 6 months is a must to keep limbs as long as possible but also at late stage do not refuse any medical treatment as my friend. He could have lived infection free without his legs. I would rather had my friend here. It is a horrible way to die and it was horrible to see!!
Talking about gang green & having coffee at the same time doesn't work well. 😊 How about a video on drop foot after being put in a coma from pneumonia & being diabetic. Will exercise help rebuild muscle & nerves while having a brace? I'm trying to help motivate a friend. Thanks! ❤
i have an "ache" on the side of calf (both) @night - i play hockey 5 days a week , walk 1/2 hr after games due to low blood pressure levels after the games - take high blood pressure & chlorestoral pills following stent insert 2020 - there has never been pain so severe that i had to quit exercise , also hydrate well - why the aches, my GP wants to add more pills but she cant tell me her thoughts on the aches, again not pain. no more pills until i get annswers - another great informative video well done Doctors!
I have veinous insufficiency and RLS. My legs were dancing through this whole video. Very unpleasant. I take Ropinirole 1mg QID which usually helps. Aquacise helps. Will get more serious about the compression stockings. Thanks.
Where to begin, our family has a history of producing to much cholesterol, I've had double Carotid replacement surgery, lost one foot to cancer but have Edema in my other leg. For treatment I'm on Plavix, Perindopril, and mint Furosemide and wear a compression sock, my short leg has a sleeve for my prosthetic on it most of the time so there is next to no Edema present there. I would love to do more walking but I develop too much pain in my right hip and Glutes area to be able to walk anymore than a block without sitting for a while(may be Peripheral Arterial Disease that you mentioned). I quit smoking about 10 years ago and do pretty much a Keto diet as I am a borderline diabetic, leg issues I put down to smoking more than anything else. I'm waiting for my MRI results to see if I've developed the same cancer in my right foot as the left(Soft tissue FibroSarcoma in the Plantar Faciitis) which is strange as it is supposed to spread to the lungs so may have been dormant who knows. Best advice, stay active, eat healthy and don't smoke, it works, I'm 13 years past my best before date and so are my cousins as 4 out of 5 of my fathers family passed at 52.🙂
Did your change in diet and smoking happen before or after most of the damage was done? Your best advice sounds good of course, but would it have helped you with your genetics?
@@jrstf Probably for the most part after, but recognizing I was getting older and almost dying in recovery after my first carotid surgery(mainly due to undiagnosed sleep apnea) which had my Anesthesiologist in a panic causing her to give me 5 hits on an inhaler to try and make sure my blood oxygen levels stayed up. I knew it was time for a change, my diet took an even bigger change in the last two years or so cutting out almost all carbs as I was hanging around borderline diabetic, still am but that's better than taking the drugs to reduce sugar levels, also did seem to increase my energy levels, the MRI didn't show anything but this cancer took almost two years to show itself the last time so we're keeping a close eye on things. As they say, "You only die once, but you live everyday".
My husband checked off all these risk boxes, refused to change his diet or move off the couch. He lost a leg a year ago & developed gangrene in his remaining foot. Sadly, he passed away in April.
I feel ya on the no surgery thing. My dad just passed last month due to complications from the surgery meant to restore blood flow to his leg. It's rare, but it does happen. I know I wish that we had stuck with the original plan, which was the much less extereme stent placement. Anyway, I hope your condition improves and there's some option other than surgery that works for you.
I recently had a CT scan with contrast because I had a cough for longer than three weeks and because I had been diagnosed with pleural plaques through working with asbestos years ago, the ct report came back that the plaques had calcified and I have SEVERE calcification of the Aorta artery and medium calcification of the Abdominal artery.I read the report online on my NHS page.. but I have had no instruction from the doctor that oredered the CT. Is that normal procedure.
I was able to avoid a statin by switching to only Olive oil or canola oil. I eat oatmeal almost every day for breakfast. I generally don't do processed foods. Ie, instead of microwave popcorn, I pop popcorn kernals on the stove in canola oil. I like to top with finally shredded cheese
Is high blood pressure a risk for PAD, as said in the video, or is PAD a risk for high blood pressure? I should think that narrowing arteries would be the cause of high blood pressure, in which case the stated situation would be wrong.
You are absolutely dead on and everything you said my wife lost her leg strictly from smoking after 8 operations to save it. The vascular surgeon here is dead on right and knows her medicine
what is my options, I had a triple by p0ass 2008, my legs hurt all the time, cannot walk with out a cane, they have put stints in my right leg they continue to plug up. No one here in tx can give a straight answer twice in a row.
I like your channel and watch most of your videos. I was glad to see this topic, because a family member recently had a bypass in his leg artery and I planned to send it to his spouse because you explain things so well. However, I found the guest doctor to be making fun of her patients who had advanced PAD. I like the levity you include, but the laughing when saying a patient has "worst case" and gangrene is insensitive. My family member had foot infections and had a toe removed. I don't know if he had gangrene, but I can't send his family this video, it's a bit mean spirited.
Went to my doctor with burning feet ,hanging my feet out of the bed at night to cool them down. He said he didn't know what the problem was prescribed Gabapentin, I didn't pick that up. Don't trust that medication. What the heck do I do .
Was that just your family doctor/general practitioner? I guess it's possible that they didn't suspect PAD for whatever reason. You should definitely either seek out a vein & vascular specialist or at least ask your doctor if they think that's worthwhile.
I have this issue as well, burning feet. The doctor told me it's likely a pinched nerve in my lower back due to some degenerative disk issues and not neuropathy. However, I'm not sure if I buy that. (Did she refer me for PAD tests? No.) It's been going on for five years now. In my case (50+ female) it started in perimenopause and I wonder if it's hormonal.
Start a proper human diet. Stop all processed foods, seed oils and sugar. Lower your hormone insulin by eating real food not the manufactured crap a lot of people think is real food like cereals, juices,bread etc and get out walking and breathe some fresh air
Now I'm curious, what's the deal with viewers of this channel and cholesterol/statins or whatever? They way he mentioned that made me want to break out some popcorn and head here to the comments.
They said you may need to take a statin and also said that diabetes can be a contributing factor,but I have heard that some statins can push you toward becoming diabetic.Is this not true?
The instruction sheet for the Statins I use mention a side effect of elevating blood sugar because a statin works in the liver. It says it is not a given but important to monitor over time.
It sad these doctors do recommend if the arteries are clear and patient don't have circulation in the feet or body parts. A recommendation of using Leeches is needed not drugs or pharmaceuticals.
Are system in the UK is broken..nurses posing as nurses yes you heard rite!! Was in for an injury and my daughter came to visit. She said that nurse is not a nurse..she worked in her work as a cleaner.
@talkingwithdocs You 3 do not gel well together which makes this video difficult to follow along with. The doctor on the right òf the screen talks to fast and jumps in too quickly whilst the female doctor’s giggling is off putting and the doctor on the left speaks a bit too low. I almost felt like the 3 speakers needed to be closer to the microphone.
Wow, she was not that helpful with tips for treatment without laughing. They all downplay how truly debilitating this illness can be in the lives of real people.
I think my family member who suffered leg ulcers and foot infections would not take this video well. She seemed to be making fun of her patients to me.
Thank you doctors for this content and also for your willing spirit to help people to stay healthy....thank you very much. Did you know that the Bible tells us that one day people will no longer need your services? Yes, the Bible gives us that hope at Isaiah 33:24... And no resident will say: “I am sick.” The people dwelling in the land will be pardoned for their error. Our error which the scripture brings out is our sin...we get sick, grow old and we die. But God has promised and made a provision for obedient mankind to be released from sin which will do away with sickness, old age and death. That provision is the ransom sacrafice of His son Christ Jesus. John 3:16, John 17:3 I know you both love your jobs and again we are thankful to you both but ask yourselves if you would prefer to keep your professions or would you like to see people healthy and happy all the time? The time is coming when the latter will be a reality. If you would like to know more about the prophecy found at Isaiah 33:24, please let me know or you can speak with one of Jehovah's Witnesses in your local area.
Doctors should change their titles back to barbers. Cholesterol doesnt cause the damage does cholesterol cause tooth decay and gum disease Theodoric? Cholesterol is the repair mechanism sugar/starch loving bacteria get our of balance and attack the arteries just like with diabetics. Metabolic dysfunction from to much high glycemic and high fat together promote most disease. Do you see wild animals dying from CVD? No because they dont eat hybridized fruit, root vegetables and grain that are high glycemic low in fiber exactly opposite from what nature designed. Then add into it animal foods they just compound the problem. Isolated animal products do not promote disease its is a archaic junk hypothesis.

Thanks for sharing your loss, it is now into the universe…. Healing has begun.
That hurts so bad 😢
Sorry
Not that it helps but it seems some times it's just time.
It just hurts.
Thanks for sharing. It's good information for anyone contemplating that surgery.
Thank You for helping us. I quit smoking and I am so grateful. It is a trap and it is a drug dependency. It is possible to get better.

Literally, all you have to do is only eat single source, and organic as much as you can afford. Prep, prep, prep. Food prep is another key.
What would cause slight swelling in one ankle and foot, but not the other? Is this a vascular problem or heart issue?
I wish you let Dr Chan speak!

Wow, she was not that helpful with tips for treatment without laughing. They all downplay how truly debilitating this illness can be in the lives of real people.
I thought the same thing.
I think my family member who suffered leg ulcers and foot infections would not take this video well. She seemed to be making fun of her patients to me.
@@clsmiles I felt she was not taking the disease serious enough and was insensitive to people who suffer from it. It's not a laughing matter.
I took it as she simply isn't comfortable making a video, the other two were facilitating the conversation.
Thank you doctors for this content and also for your willing spirit to help people to stay healthy....thank you very much. Did you know that the Bible tells us that one day people will no longer need your services? Yes, the Bible gives us that hope at Isaiah 33:24...
And no resident will say: “I am sick.” The people dwelling in the land will be pardoned for their error.
Our error which the scripture brings out is our sin...we get sick, grow old and we die. But God has promised and made a provision for obedient mankind to be released from sin which will do away with sickness, old age and death. That provision is the ransom sacrafice of His son Christ Jesus. John 3:16, John 17:3
I know you both love your jobs and again we are thankful to you both but ask yourselves if you would prefer to keep your professions or would you like to see people healthy and happy all the time? The time is coming when the latter will be a reality.
If you would like to know more about the prophecy found at Isaiah 33:24, please let me know or you can speak with one of Jehovah's Witnesses in your local area.
Doctors should change their titles back to barbers. Cholesterol doesnt cause the damage does cholesterol cause tooth decay and gum disease Theodoric? Cholesterol is the repair mechanism sugar/starch loving bacteria get our of balance and attack the arteries just like with diabetics. Metabolic dysfunction from to much high glycemic and high fat together promote most disease. Do you see wild animals dying from CVD? No because they dont eat hybridized fruit, root vegetables and grain that are high glycemic low in fiber exactly opposite from what nature designed. Then add into it animal foods they just compound the problem. Isolated animal products do not promote disease its is a archaic junk hypothesis.
