Information, Symptoms, Treatments and Resources
What is peripheral artery disease?
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a problem with blood flow in the arteries, usually the legs. Poor circulation and blockage of blood in the leg arteries produces an aching, tired, and sometimes burning pain in the legs.
The pain from PAD is brought on by exercise, and relieved by rest. The limping that occurs from the leg pain is called claudication.
Alternative Names:
Blockage of leg arteries; Claudication; Intermittent claudication; Vaso-occlusive disease of the legs; Arterial insufficiency of the legs; Recurrent leg pain and cramping; Calf pain with exercise
