[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 147057, member: 18023"] I have no idea about TRT and blood thinners, I think testosterone can increase your likeliness to bleed and you need less blood thinner. A blood thinner maybe the first treatment to save your legs and keep your blood flowing, but I don't think it's the best longer term treatment and the partial blockage sounds pretty serious and far advanced. So it seems to me the more important issue is the blockage. Can't they do stents in your legs, balloon (DCB) angioplasty or some sort of bypass? Is this blockage peripheral arterial disease? My mother had PAD, her first symptom was a reduced ability to walk, fortunately they diagnosed it correctly and did a stent. She had been doing the lifeline screening tests for blood flow, not sure if that helped identify the blockage or not. Once you are more stable and they do recommend a course of treatment for your legs, I suggest asking about arterial disease in other areas such as carotid artery and heart, maybe they are OK with doing a coronary (heart scan) calcium scan. Good luck and hope you can make a full recovery, take care of yourself. John [/QUOTE]
