Leg Pain Due to Arterial Blockage

Leg Pain Due to Arterial Blockage

Diagnosing vascular blockage at an early stage can prevent serious complications.

It is useful to know some of the symptoms that point to this problem:

Chest pain

Shortness of breath

Pain in the calves and thighs

Dizziness, fatigue

Cold hands and feet

Coldness, paleness, and loss of sensation in the leg

Pain that occurs especially during movement and goes away with rest

Leg pain caused by vascular blockage is mostly felt during movement. When the blockage is untreated and progresses to an advanced stage, coldness, bluish discoloration, and gangrene appear in the leg. Sometimes swelling may also accompany these symptoms.
