What happens in an artery in the leg is clogged up by fatty deposits?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Range of symptoms: Mild blockage may cause no symptoms. Moderate blockage can lead to muscle cramps when walking or exercising. Severe blockage can lead to constant pain or non-healing wounds (due to lack of blood flow and lack of oxygen).
