No Pulse in His Right Foot
No Pulse in His Right Foot
TM
NP Mary
The members right foot was deep purple in color and cool to the touch. I couldnt
detect a pulse.
He said he didnt feel any pain, but then he noted he had nerve damage to his
right leg.
After he massaged the foot and walked on it a bit, the color began to improve. But
once he sat down, the discoloration set in again.
I contacted his cardiologist, who instructed the member to stop taking his blood
pressure medication and go to the ER for evaluation. To which the member and his
wife agreed.
