Thanks , I have gone to all the sites and read. I found the medication

that I took in one of the articles....it is Trental. Have any of you ever taken

it? It caused me to have nausea and vomiting. I am not getting any treatment

for the claudication....I have not had any of the tests that the articles

suggested to make a definite diagnosis. I described my symtoms , and the dr.

told me that the pulse in my feet were weak. One of the articles implied that

it is ridiculous not to get treatment for claudication because of all the

problems that can come later.
