My wife has finally convinced me to go to a Neurophysiologist for my legs.
Since my heart failure diagnosis in the summer of 2004, my legs have bothered me a great deal. Of course I lost lean mass all over, but my legs lost more than the rest of my body.
Then I started having issues when I lie down or put my feet up. My top of my thighs ache and on bad days they ache so much they burn. It seems to just be the top of my thighs.
My wife went with me when I went to my heart failure specialist recently and she brought this up with him. My doctor said he had not heard of this for heart failure so it must be something else. We discussed that it could be a circulatory issue or a nerve issue.
Since my oxygen runs at 98% when they check it, they concluded I should go to a Neurophysiologist.
So I have an appointment for December 4 for a consultation. I don't expect to get the answer that day, but we will wait and see.
