Standing Tall – Peripheral Artery Disease / PAD

Tomas, a retired welder, suffered for years from increasing pains in his legs. At first, he ignored them, thinking it was age related but as it became more difficult to walk, he went to his doctor. He was diagnosed with peripheral arterial disease, or PAD. Treatment followed but with little success. When he learned he was facing a double amputation, he was fortunate to find a leading PAD expert, who ultimately was able to save both of his legs.
