Have Burning Pain Foot, Stents Fixed In Leg. Have Peripheral Arterial Disease, Limb Ischemia, Taking Sixty Tramacet. Considering Amputation, Sympathectomy

HI I had two stents fitted to my right leg about eight months ago,I suffer from peripheral aterial disease,and have lower limb ischaemia,I have had severe burning pain in the right foot just behind the toes,shortly after the stents were fitted, I am taking sixty tramacet tablets over a period of four days for the pain,the pain is more severe when I lie down,I have been considering a below knee amputation to stop this pain or lately a sympathectomy can you advise, I have a history of Ischaemia ,I an afraid that with the high dosages of pain killers my kidneys will be affected.Thank you

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
hallo dear friend
i hv studied your case
do you have any wound over leg,or feet
since you have already undergone stent surgery you should investigate for the blood circulation by colour doppler or CT ANGIO
if whole vessel is sclorosed repeat surgery will not prove useful so tou can go for amputation and sympathectomy
but block is at another area then you can re do stenting

physiotherapy - USG swd
