I've been diagnosed with PAD and mild narrowing in my ATA and DPA. My left leg hurts, especially in the foot, but my pulse seems fine. I'm on meds like evospirin, avstiloz, and gabapentin, and my doctor said surgery isn't an option because the issue is with small arteries. Can you help me understand what's really going on and if there's anything else I can do for the pain?
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), with narrowing in your Anterior Tibial Artery (ATA) and Dorsalis Pedis Artery (DPA), can cause leg pain, especially in the foot, even with a palpable pulse. While surgery might not be an option due to the issue with small arteries, lifestyle changes, medications, and exercise can help manage your pain and improve blood flow
