My left leg muscles are very painful..only massaging relieves the pain temporarily..i walk with a limp because of the pain..this condition has been deteriorating over years. I am male 64 years old ..have mild diabetes and have a pacemaker..I weigh 85 kg and am about 7 kg overweight . What disease do these symptoms indicate and how can it be treated ?

hi sir,
since you are diabetic, overweight, old aged male having a heart disease( having pacemaker), pain in legs may be due to claudication( pain in legs due to less blood supply to calf muscles). It can be due to vessel disease of legs because of diabetes...you need to get color arterial doppler of your legs and your lipid profile checked and consult your doctor
Thanx
