See your doctor: It's never normal to have pain, let alone excruciating pain, while walking or exercising. Clogged arteries, neurological disorders, and yes even blood clots can all cause those type of symptoms. Get yourself checked out as soon as possible to be sure it's not a problem that could threaten life or limb!

Need vascular eval.: Pain with walking is a classic symptom of a vascular problem called claudication. This symptom is typically brought on by walking and relieved by rest. It is usually due to a narrowing or blockage in a leg artery with the symptoms occurring below the level of the narrowing. There are certainly other things that can cause your problem. You should be evaluated by a vascular surgeon.
