I had pain my legs after getting a stent inside some veins or something. I am 75 years old. I was walking up the stairs once and I twisted my calf muscle and I couldn't walk. It cramped up and blew up and was all bruised. It went away. A year later and it still hurts when I walk. I have to stop so my legs don't burn. I went to the doctor, he touched my leg a couple of times and looked at it and quickly said that I have a burst blood vessells in the leg and it can't really be fixed and I have to live with the pain. I am so confused. Is there anything I can do to better my situation. I cannot even walk more than 1 block without stopping. I love riding my bike but I can't ride more than half a block.
