Leg pain when walking or pain when the legs are elevated (e.g. sleeping in bed) can be an important symptom of arterial disease. It is important to establish the cause of the leg pain, as there can be a number of factors from arterial blockages to nerve impingement/spinal disease, that can have very similar symptoms.
At Yarra Vascular Surgeons we understand this can be a very debilitating symptom, and we take a systematic approach to assess the symptoms and conduct investigations to determine the exact cause of the patients pain. We also assess the severity of symptoms to ensure any treatment that is required is delivered in the most efficient manner.
