A member asked:
What to do if i was fit despite having a heart attack recently but now i have a stiff leg and find walking difficult, why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get examination: If the heart attack is due to clogged arteries, peripheral arteries can have the same problem. Have your legs examined as you could be having what they call claudication.
