If there is a change in the color and temperature of the foot, the dorsalis pedis artery is weakened or disappears, and there are symptoms such as soreness and discomfort in the lower limbs after walking, you should pay attention to it and be sure to go to the regular peripheral vascular department of the hospital. Don't do these actions, don't take the cobblestone road,because the leg blood vessels of the foot infarction patients have problems, the foot perception is low, and the perception of pain is not sensitive, and walking the cobblestone road is likely to cause infection and aggravate the degree of leg necrosis. 2.
