In the right lower limb, is the block in the Vein or the Arteries. A Venous and Arterial Doppler test will show where is the problem. If the block is in the veins, she would have to be admitted under a vascular surgeon, and IV medications given to remove the deep vein thrombosis. This will remove the swelling in the leg. If the block is in the arteries, a peripheral angiogram and an angioplasty will have to be done to open up the blocks and relieve the pain. Please consult a vascular surgeon.
