I have had stents placed in my legs due to slow blood flow

Were you told you have good circulation but your legs hurt before the stents went in?

I was never told anything about the circulation in my legs, I just developed trouble when I walked very far. My leg just didn’t want to keep going. I finally went back to my cardiologist, and he put several stents in the leg.

I’m not much of an exercise person, though. If I have to do a lot of walking, I have to stop once in a while and rock back and forth on my toes to get the circulation flowing.

BTW—the only medicine I take is one aspirin a day. I think that’s a good thing for lot of people my age to do.
