Calf Pain, Stiff Calves, Have Tiny Arteries, Less Pulse From Knees To Ankles. Heart Problem Too?

I have just undergone a series of tests as I have suffered terrible pains in both my calves for months (the pain is only when I walk). My claves go completely stiff and I can barely walk. I used to do a lot of sport and can t anymore. I m told my arteries are tiny and I have barely any pulse from the knees to ankles. I won t see the doctor with all the results for another week. Does this mean I may have a heart problem too?

hi,

Thanks for posting your query

First of all, please mention your age.

According to your description of clinical symptoms & finding on examination,
You might be suffering from Burger disease or Atherosclerosis.

This means you may have heart problem too.

So you should visit your doctor for cardiovascular check-up also.

Regards.
