Patient's question:
Dad went to the hospital for a full-body check-up with an old friend not long ago. A few days later, the health check report came out, and it said that Dad had developed arteriosclerosis. Then I prepared to get some good medicine to treat Dad. What medicine is good for treating arteriosclerosis?Doctor's answer:
This disease is more common in young people and more common in the lower limbs. The affected limb presents with transient or persistent pallor, cyanosis, heat, and tingling. The skin of the affected limb turns red when bent, turns white when lifted, followed by numbness of the toes, calf muscle pain, agitation during walking, and disappearance during rest. For patients with significant pain relief, various analgesic drugs can be used, or procedures such as procaine point injection, venous isolation, or external femoral artery isolation can be adopted. Even sympathectomy of the lumbar sympathetic ganglion or epidural injection can be used.
