Arthur Hawkins –
I was already thinking about opioids for my leg pain but decided to have it checked with my doctor. Pain starts to creep up on my leg the more I walk around. It turns out that it was intermittent claudication. I don’t know fully how this condition really works to cause me pain but I was given cilostazol and after a week, I can walk more around again. The illness is still there since I think I need to take this meds for a longer period of time, but I get to do more with my legs now.
