I am 67 years old man, active and weight 75 kgs. Not diabetic. Only hyper blood pressures but under control with asomex 2.5 mg. Since last 12-15 months my calfs and lower legs are hurting extremely, and spasm like attack until gas release or legs are pressed. Previously it was only at night now its even during day time. I smoke about 15-20 cigs, for past 40 years. Vegetarian, light meals. I was prescribed pramipex 0.5 - it stop working. I am advised to do arterial as well as venous doppler test for both legs. Costing about 6000/- for both legs both test. Should I spend this kind of money. What will be findings? After this will I need mri for mild back pain? Is it associated with leg pains? Please give your opinion and some explanation. Thank you for your guidance.
