The title pretty much says it all. I have had heart troubles for years and had a quadruple bypass back in 2010. Up until the last year or a little better haven't had much problems. Now I am experiencing nerve pain due to the back fusion I had in 1998. My feet get like pins and needles, not while I am on them so much but more when I get off of them! So going to bed at night is a real joy. Sometimes it is an hour or two before I can get them to ease up enough for me to go to sleep!
The biggest problem, that is really beginning to be the problem that is causing me to sit on the sideline is the poor circulation I am having in my feet and legs. My Grandson saw my legs the other day and said, Pop you have a good tan on your legs. Not a tan son! I have spider veins and varicose veins in my legs. Not that I am worried about how they look, I just want to be able to stand and work in the shop!
They say my veins that return the blood to the heart are not working good and blood pools in my legs, causing the dark look as well as all the spots and blotches. I have been sent to a Dermatologist, because they thought it was turning into cellulitis .
I sure miss being in the shop, in fact this time it is so bad I can't be on my feet for much!!
Makes you feel useless. Hopefully when I go back to the heart doc, he can do something to help!! You don't realize how precious your health is, till its gone! OK enough of the whining! I got to go, I have had the foot down long enough now!! You all keep up the good work guys!
