I would like to know something more about my grandfather's condition. He is 77 years old and suffering from severe case of peripheral nerve disease. In his words, sometimes pain in feet is simply unbearable. Combining with leg weakness, his health situation is far from normal. Anyway, he has been to hospital again for some new tests. It seems that he also has Peripheral Artery Disease. I do not know anything about it and I would like to know. Will you help?
Peripheral Artery Disease can be the cause of degeneration of muscles. Still, it is not determined whether it is connected to a peripheral nerve disease. Peripheral Artery Disease is more common in older people, so almost twenty percent of people older then 70 years are suffering from this disease. People having this disease also has a higher risk of a heart attack.
