Leg pain, swelling, and changes in the appearance of your leg’s skin may be signs of a circulation problem, which may indicate some form of vein disease or peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a condition that causes poor blood circulation to the kidneys, intestines, arms, legs, and feet. Blood flow may be reduced or blocked by narrowed or hardened blood vessels, leading to tissue and nerve injury or damage. Our team of providers is highly experienced in diagnosing PAD, and we offer treatments that are minimally invasive alternatives to surgery.
Arterial Disease Symptoms
Symptoms of an arterial condition or peripheral arterial disease (PAD) include:
- Intermittent claudication (cramps in the calf or thigh when walking)
- Pain while resting
- Weakness
- Heaviness
- Fatigue
- Skin discoloration or ulcers (especially on the feet or toes)
- Numbness or tingling sensation
