During this period Doppler's showed that my arteries were were over 50% clogged. Within the last year I have had cellulitis in both legs numerous times. The antibiotics work for a short period then back again. Now My groin is swollen and so painful femoral artery,at least a ten! Any ideas

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
You must be having complications of arterial clogging. There can be further clogging and thrombus formation in the arteries. You must consult a vascular surgeon immediately and seek treatment to cause opening up of any severely clogged arteries.
Hope this helps
