PAD

What is PAD with overflow disease?  I also have constant leg pain at rest.  My calves hurt a great deal. I have polyneuropathy and fibromyalgia as well.   Then there is lumbar stenosis and facets disease.  How can one figure out what is causing the pain?

PAD means peripheral arterial disease; it means you have reduced blood flow to the legs; if you also have lumbar stenosis it can be difficult to differentiate the two but an ABI should be able to tell you how bad the flow to your legs is and whether or not you need further evaluation with dopplers +/- arteriogram.
