A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain on walking: Your symptoms are suggestive of peripheral artery disease (pad). This is caused by narrow arteries that supply the leg muscles with oxygen. You should see a physician and have an angiogram (a) of your legs done to see how much pad is present. If it is confirmed by the a, have a revascularization of your diseased arteries by a phyisican to cure the pain and avoid an amputation in the future.
