Hey Docs. Need some advice for my Father.
My Father will be 75 in January. He has some joint pain in his knees, but it's manageable.
Lately he's been getting acute pain in his left calf after walking a short time (5-10 mins). He just had an MRI, X-rays and a circulation test done. According to his doctor, the results were inconclusive. The Doc recommended hose for his leg, to help circulation.
Any of you guys seen anything like this? Have any recommendations? He's done the tylenol/ibuprophen with little success. It's not his knee, but specifically the calf, so the arthritis treatments seem to be out.
Thanks in advance.
