Subject: Popiteal Artery replacement/bypass
My left knee was hurt in a crash with a car, a year later my leg and
foot started having pain and weakness during the rides, i waited until
it quit altogether and saw a doctor who found a damaged artery behind
the knee. They replaced the artery with a vein from my lower leg, now
six weeks after surgury it is starting to feel like it did before I
saw the doctor, painful and weak..has anyone here had a similar
surgury , and if so, were your results good? I guess I am a little
frightened that it was not sucessful, the doctors have a worried look
but keep telling me it will most likely be ok, anyone with some
advice ??

ok here's my opinion.
the shoes? the heels are worn down. you are walking toes up, heels
down - bad news for the pops and lower back.
cut cardboard heel shapes and place in shoe. try lower back stretchs
