Hi!
Yes, peripheral artery disease is the most common cause of intermittent claudication. The pain is felt while walking/working or exercising because the narrowed arteries in PAD are unable to supply enough blood to meet the oxygen demand of the muscles.
Please discuss in detail with your doctor. Take care!
