Hi again, all--
I just learned from my cardio that I have Reynaud's syndrome. In my case, my artery behind my knee is narrowed (not related to PAD) and goes into spasms, causing my foot to turn cold.
Many of you know that I had scar tissue inside my right femoral artery and had to have an angioplasty three years ago this Feb. After a few ankle brachial indexes, echoes on my artery, a couple MRAs and a lower extremity study, my cardio concluded that my artery is "wide open" and I should not have any more issues. Still, recently I was having groin pain and needed another ABI/echo of my leg. My foot is cold a lot!
Anyway, I am just wondering if anyone else here has Reynaud's Syndrome and if so, what your experiences have been.
Thanks,
Debi
