They tell me that the lack of oxygen killed specific nerves in the leg, plus a part of the man made clot broke off and lodged in the calf. They said that to go after the piece of clot would tear the leg up creating more damage than the clot would. The leg has never been the same, and because they know which nerves, and how it was damaged....it is type II.
