One doctor told me I had the tits of an eighteen-year-old, one doctor said I was eating too much spinach, and this guy thought I should drink gin and tonics at bedtime. with the fireplace goin’ and the TV on… it didn’t do much for the leg pain, though.

Now, I gotta admit, a gin and tonic is a tasty thing at around 11 p.m. “Well, try having one before you go to bed, lemme know if it helps,” he said, exiting. Do you like gin and tonics?” he inquired. I’ve been told tonic water helps,” he said, while cleaning up his tools. “No one knows why we get them, but they’re very common. “You probably have night cramps,” he blurted out. He used a wand that looked like an ultrasound and scanned my arterial system for any blockages. So there I was, describing all my symptoms again to the vascular specialist, Doctor #6, wanting this Doppler flow test, too. I don’t know why doctors don’t offer this test regularly. The lesson here is that if you’re experienceing pain, numbness, weakness, or weird sensations in any of your limbs, or if you seem sluggish in your head, a bit out of it, just not as sharp as normal, you may have a blocked artery. At least she was getting operated on for the right thing, and it did fix her. The cause was a blocked artery in her leg, which required bypass surgery. That one little test, easily and painlessly performed in a doctor’s office, told the whole story of her leg pain.

An associate of Sarno’s listened to her symptoms and asked her what no other medical doctor had thought to ask: “Have you had a Doppler flow test?”
