Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
5 months ago I had emergency surgery to remove 4 blood clots, 2 in my abdominal aorta and1 in each leg. I had been having pain in my left hip at walking but had thought it was just age, weight, and laziness. I was told after surgery that I had PAD. My question is how quickly can the arteries become occluded again, as I am starting to have hip pain again. There were 2 stents placed during surgery and I am now on Plavix and aspirin.
