A member asked:
Is it possible that my peripheral artery disease is just neuropathy?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Symptoms different: Pad is atherosclerotic narrowing of arteries. As it worsens, blood flow decreases leading to symptoms of claudication (pain - walking or activity ) which is relieved by stopping. Symptoms change to pain at night awaking you from sleep & relieved by getting your feet down. Finally they progress to constant pain at rest with or without non healing sores/ulcers. Diagnosed accurately by doppler.

Both?: These often go together. Need testing to find out.
