Yes, I am a 67 year old white male, generally good health just had right shoulder replacement last NOV 2, I am having burning sensations in the bottom of my feet (only when lying down) and feet are always cold, and today having aches in my lower legs on the front side. Is this a Vascular problem and should I go one of those type doctors? I take low doses of High blood pressure meds, and have been on Percacet for pain for a long time. I am 5 10, 170 lbs mostly muscle, hardly no fat walk several miles and jog most everyday

Hello
This doesn't sound like a circulation problem, rather a nerve problem as in a peripheral neuropathy.
I'd check your for diabetes or a low vitamin B12 level and get nerve conduction studies of your legs to determine the exact problem
