Leg pain: Or claudication. Legs hurt or cramp due to poor flow when walking. Rest improves the symptoms. Loss of hair on the lower legs. Ulcers or sores of feet or toes. Skin infections of lower legs. Easy to be checked with abi test. This compares blood pressures of arms to legs and can predict severity of pad.
