Suggest Treatment For Leg Cramps
Blood flow to my legs and feet is causing cramps in my legs and pain in my feet. I had micro vas treatments that seem to help my legs but not my feet. The pain in my legs have started up again. I presume this is vascular. What can be done? i can't deal with the pain anymore. Something needs to be done.

Hi,
From your past history of your micro vas treatment that you have had DVT deep vein thrombosis before or you had a vascular pathology before. Anyway you have to treat the cause of pain to prevent it from coming back so you may need to ask your vascular specialist for some imaging and investigations like PT, PTT, INR, doppler U/S.
For now you may start with aspirin once daily after breakfast to increase your blood fluidity, always stay rehydrated with more fluid intake, elevating the leg and wearing stretches helps a lot. Advil tab twice after lunch as an analgesic in addition to drugs your specialist will add to you like heparin or warrfarin for coagulopathy (dosing of these drugs is very important).
Hope the above information helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan
