Question 1

how do you cure poor leg circulation?

Accepted Answer

Good question!: If you smoke, don't!  take Aspirin 75 mg - 325 mg daily. Keep BP and blood sugar under control. Exercise daily.  Even if it's just for 15 min. Eat a mediterranean or low fat diet and take a statin. Finally, if you have rest pain, non-healing ulcers or very limiting pain with walking, consider revascularization by balloon/stent or surgery.

ASA: Would be a reasonable step if you do have circulation issues. However, it would be worthwhile to get your legs checked.

Question 4

what are causes of having poor leg circulation and excessive sweating in my groin area?

Circulation: Without delay you should either go to the Emergency Room or make a quick appointment with your doctor. It may turn out not to be a big problem but you do need to find out ASAP.

See rheumatologist: If she has a positive ANA (&gt;1:80 esp_ and low C4, an autoimmune disorder is likely.  Consult a rheumatologist.

Question 6

i have a red, itchy, warm, slightly swollen rash on the bottom of my legs after sitting for a long period of time. what is this? circulation related?

Accepted Answer

You might: You might have pressure induced hives. Please see your dermatologist to find out.

Question 7

i do not have a rash it is the skin pigmentation causing blotchy like darker circles on my left calf muscle? is this circulation ?

Accepted Answer

Hyperpigmentation: Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (pih) is a frequently encountered problem and represents the sequelae of various cutaneous disorders as well as therapeutic interventions. This acquired excess of pigment can be attributed to various preceding disease processes that affect the skin such as infections, allergic reactions, mechanical injuries, reactions to medications, phototoxic eruptions, trauma.

Question 8

29yr male.brainfog on liftin weights & trainin my leg. vit levels fine.fe-70ug/dl.ferritin-40ng/ml.circulation is very poor.what tests shld i undergo?

Accepted Answer

Not quite sure: on some of your terms:
"brainfog on lifting weights"
"poorcirculation"
"b12 deficiency" I am not at all clear what you mean.
Certainly with strenuous exercise some exhaution can occur that can impair thought a bit (and rapidly get better with rest). "poor circulation" is not common below age 40.

Question 9

if my legs feel heavy, does that mean i have poor circulation?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Heaviness is not a common description for someone with poor circulation to the legs. More usually, one complains of pain with walking that leaves with rest, less hair on the toes, change in skin color loss of pulses. Heaviness could be vascular but could be from many causes. A good history and exam should help determine the cause.

Question 10

if i have poor circulation in one leg, making it colder than the other, would it affect the results of an emg/ncs?

Accepted Answer

Probably Not, But...: Although temperature does play a role in the outcome of an EMG/NCV study, most neurophysiologists check temperature during the test to identify this as a source of error.  To some extent, the answer to this question depends on the results of the test and the skill set of the person doing the test.  I would discuss it with the doctor who performed the test, if possible.  Stay healthy!
