I rarely last long on a serious thread...☺

I had tests at Peterborough yesterday...what a different hospital.

My legs are fine as is the right artery, just a very slight narrowing but nothing of concern.

The left artery, just below where it joins the aorta, shows narrowing....quite severe is what I was told. I suppose this is what was seen in Kettering that wasn't acted upon as it is the same spot.

I know I have to wait for the consultation for definite results but the radiologist did say that in cases like this angioplasty is used.

I guess this will restore full blood flow to my leg and improve my walking..
...to what it was before?

Thanks...Gx

I wasn't even put to sleep for mine Gness, can't spell the other word, I always get a red underline. The thingy goes in more to the front of the groin, not where you sit upon. Afterwards, they tape something (A roll of cotton wool in my case) tightly to the site, to stop any bleeding. It just leaves a largish bruise.
Pst.... did you know you can now get gel filled bike saddles?

The roll of cotton wool should help! Good luck.
