Pain in legs: Intermittent claudication refers to impairment in walking, or pain, discomfort or tiredness in the legs that occurs during walking and is relieved by rest. There are 2 types of claudication, 1) vascular claudication usually caused by lack of blood supply to the affected limbs. Secondly, there is 2) neurogenic claudication caused by nerve root compression or stenosis of the spinal canal.
