Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I thought I had a charlie horse last saturday but the pain persists. Drove for 4 hours and was playing horeshoes (about 4 hours after the drive) when it happened. It is OK if I am laying down, but once up and walking, it hurts after a few steps. There is no redness and the area is not hot to the touch. I have CAD and 5 stents administered. Cuuld this be a blood clot or PAD??
