    My mother has poor circulation and severe pain in her feet. the pain is mostly in her toes and the balls of here feet. She also has fallen arches. She cannot stand or walk for more than five to ten minutes before the pain becomes too much for her and she has to sit down. She is on Plavix and other medications for blood pressure and breathing. is there anything she should ask her own doctor about that he may not have thought of concerning the crippling pain in her feet.

    What has her doctor already thought of and ruled out? If the pain is in her leg rather than just her foot after 5 to 10 minutes of walking, as you state she has poor circulation, that can be a sign of very serious arterial insufficiency which requires an immediate evaluation. If the pain is only in the toes and the ball of the foot, it still could be circulation problems but more likely a Morton's neuroma or arthritis. She needs to see a doctor in any event.
