A member asked:
Foot big toe hurts - hurts so bad - doctor's report said the dorsalis pedis artery - clogged arteries - what is the benefit - how to heal the pain?

clogged arteries...: The pain of ischemia (lack of blood flow) is severe! if the artery is blocked, you should have vascular surgery or medications to help open it up again. 48 years old is way too young to be having this problem. See a vascular surgeon to discuss options.

If that is: Truly the reason you need to see a vascular doctor.
