Leg claudication refers to pain or cramping in the legs that occurs during physical activity, such as walking, and is relieved with rest, also known as intermittent claudication, a symptom typically associated with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), in which case, a narrowing or blockage of the arteries that supply blood to the legs must be investigated.
The symptoms of leg claudication can vary but commonly include:
Pain, cramping, or aching in the calf, thigh, or buttock muscles during physical activity such as walking.
The pain typically subsides with rest.
If you are experiencing leg claudication or suspect you might have PAD, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and appropriate management.
