Recognize the Warning Signs: Understanding Blocked Arteries in Your Feet
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a condition characterized by narrowed or blocked arteries that supply blood to the legs and feet. Symptoms include pain or cramping in the legs or feet when walking, weakness or fatigue in the legs, and slow healing of cuts or sores on the feet and toes. Risk factors include age, smoking, diabetes, and family history. Early detection and treatment can prevent serious complications such as gangrene and amputation. Regular follow-up visits are necessary to manage complications and prevent recurrence.
