San Antonio Peripheral Artery Disease Treatment
Understanding Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
Peripheral Artery Disease is a common circulatory problem where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs. PAD can lead to leg pain, especially when walking, and is often a sign of a more widespread accumulation of fatty deposits in the arteries.
Symptoms of PAD
- Leg Numbness or Weakness: Reduced blood flow can cause numbness or a feeling of weakness in the legs.
- Coldness in Lower Leg or Foot: A lower temperature in one leg compared to the other.
- Sores on Toes, Feet, or Legs: Wounds that heal poorly or not at all.
- Change in Leg Color: Pale or bluish coloration.
- Shiny Skin on Legs: Skin may become glossy and smooth.
- Weak Pulse in Legs or Feet: Difficulty in finding a pulse in the leg arteries.
- Pain: while walking or daily activities
