Brief Answer:
EMG advised

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.

You have almost done everything. However if you were my patient I would suggest to run EMG (electromyography) to evaluate the status of your peripheral nerves and to find out the cause of your symptoms.

If everything is fine then should consult with psychiatrist for further evaluation.

Hope it was of help!

thanks sir, my concern is that sometimes I have pain in legs at night and sitting is more than when iam walking, as I am afraid of p.A.D. though I have no discoloration of feets or ankles but soles of feets are aching for sometimes and after sometimes It disappeareand when i woke up in morning my legs are aching,I walk no feets pain

sir my main concern is p.a.d, because. iam former smoker for 8 years, but color Doppler came back normal two times, and I am constantly thinking about this, my legs start aching when iam sitting and tingling crawling sensations in lower legs below knees and its disappeared after I starts walking, it's very confusing for me, I am really not getting any diagnoses? pls tell what is wrong with me, though my doctor gave me methylcobalin injection 3 month ago its work for some days but discomfort restarts after some days my b12 one month ago is 522, can I will be normal again???

Brief Answer:
If Doppler ultrasound was negative,no fear for P.A.D

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

Thank you for following up.

I understand your concern regarding P.A.D. taking into account your risk factors (former smoker). However, as long as Doppler ultrasound resulted negative, there is no fear for P.A.D.

I still insist to run EMG as it will evaluate the function of your peripheral nerves and muscles to exclude their problems.

I also advise to continue with helahty changes in your diet and lifestyle regimen to prevent its onset in the future.

Hope it was of help!

Brief Answer:
Yes you can feel normal again.

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

As you see there are two components in your concern.
1. Pain and discomfort which is interfering with your,
2. Social life.

Yes you can feel normal again and for this you should do all the necessary examinations in order to find out the exact nature of the pain.

Moreover you should try to think positive, avoid unnecessary stress and increase recreational activities (for example sport, dancing, yoga etc.). This will help to improve your social life.

Wish you health!
Dr. Benard
