Intermittent Claudication

Intermittent claudication is a symptom of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and causes aching pain in the legs when walking or exercising, which goes away when resting. It's often caused by narrowed or blocked arteries that reduce blood flow to the legs. Early detection and treatment are crucial to slow or stop the progression of PAD.
