      Hi,

      We find the majority of our problems in the arteries and veins in the legs or neck.
      Veins- you can get blood clots in the veins and these are most commonly found in the legs.
      Arteries- this can become narrowed or blocked and the most common sites for this are in the legs and in the arteries that supply blood to the brain- leading to a stroke.
