Thanks for contacting with your health concern and after reviewing your medical history I'm of the following opinion:
1. pain in foot which disappear after walking a while could be 'Intermittent claudication' which can be manifestation of PAD [peripheral arterial disease] for which general instructions advised are:
i. stop smoking and tobacco in any form, completely
ii. walk slowly,at slower pace to avoid claudication
iii. raise the heel of shoes by 1/2"
iv. take maximum care to avoid injury to foot,as it may precipitate a
gangrene.
v. Peripheral Vasodilators like:
. Pentoxyphyllin 400 mg thrice daily
. Xanthinol nicotinate 500 mg twice daily [both with meals]
.
Cilostazol 100 mg twice daily [half hour before food] is ideal
vi. One may consult a surgeon for lumbar sympathectomy, or
vascular surgery or
amputation as necessary
2. regarding whether it could be a neurological problem, check with a
Neurologist to exclude causes like: cramps or tingling in the limbs\
3. since you had an embolic attack, so check with the INR [international normalized ratio] to check whether there are chance of bleeding [if greater] or chances of clot [if less] are more.
4. since Aspirin [in low dose] is usually advised but one have also to look into other modifiable factors like:
. obesity [reduce weight]
. lack of physical activity [regular exercise]
. unhealthy diet [ take more of fatty food and avoid salt items]
. addiction [stop smoking/alcohol]
.
high blood pressure,high blood sugar,
abnormal lipid profile and kidney function
