i have been diagnosed by two cardiovascular surgeons as having severe atherosclosis primarily in my legs . one surgeon put a stent behind one knee to no avail. so far all i am told is that this condition is sever but the only action taken is to take a blood thinner. when i walk it hurts my calves alot and sometimes the pain occurs in both hip joints. when this happens i cant walk because the pain is too much. so i have this disease but no recomendations on what to do . can you tell me what to do thanks
