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.

I ask because my brother has been complaining about his legs for years and he’s had many tests and they can’t find anything. And Friday he is scheduled for another procedure and the doc is confident he’ll find the cause. Years ago, he had a 3-way bypass.

Aspirin good; aspirin bad. They can’t make-up their minds:

I’ve only ever used aspirin since 3yrs old. At 63, I’m doing fine.
