| Anyone else with occluded arteries in legs?
Help! After a year and a half of varying annoying symptoms I was diagnosed by a podiatrist with Raynaud's disease. He sent me to a rheumatologist and a vascular surgeon. The rheumatologist ran what I feel like was every single blood test- all fine except very high B12. The vascular surgeon did a CTA and it showed that I have 2 arteries in each lower leg that are 100% blocked! He said he doesn't think it's from plaque or cholesterol (I am 34, healthy, non smoker) but he thinks it's autoimmune in nature. I can't find any auto immune disorders that do this (along with purple feet, intense leg tingling, numbness). I can find Buerger's syndrome except that happens to male smokers. I feel like no one knows what is going on but I'm scared knowing I have 4 blocked arteries! I left a message for rheumatologist, of course haven't heard back. Can anyone help?
