What is the treatment for leg claudication?

Stop walking: The initial treatment for leg claudication is to stop walking on the painful leg. Increased fluid intake, an asprin, NSAID or other blood thinning medication may be appropriate. Al leg ultrasound may be prudent and sometime atherosclerotic or thombisis medication may be necessary. This pain should be evaluated by your healthcare provider.

Multiple things: Depend on the cause of the claudication like vascular or neurogenic. For vascular you need to be on medications like Aspirin , u need to quit smoking, u need to control the predisposing factors like hypertention and diabetes, u need to be on anti-cholestrol medicine especially statins like lipitor, (atorvastatin) u must do walking excercise( not walking is bad), and probably try medicine like pletal. See doctor.
