Small Arteries & Poor Circulation

I have, in the past 4 years, gone through two arterial bypass surgeries to help supply more blood to my legs, since my arteries are abnormally small. I can no longer maintain a good workout running, stairmaster, most aerobic activity. I found Bikram Yoga and I am able to maintain, keep up, enjoy and reap the benefits of improved circulation.

My doctors believed I had something similar to carpul tunnel syndrome or tendinitous. Never did they suspect at my age that it was circulatory. There was no treatment. They basically thought there was nothing wrong. Finally, a doctor tried to take a pulse in my foot and found none. That then began a series of test to discover the lack of circulation. To this day, the only explanation is small arteries.

It was no a noticeable improvement physically at first. It was a JOY that I could participate in something and not have to stop because I couldn't feel my legs. The combination of heat and postures over the past six months has strengthened me and therefore helped my condition.
