PAD Symptoms You Should Never Ignore
PAD, or Peripheral Arterial Disease, is more than just “leg pain” — it’s a warning sign that your blood flow is compromised. If untreated, PAD can lead to infections, wounds, and even amputation.Watch for these common signs and symptoms:
- Pain or cramping in the legs while walking (called claudication)
- Cold feet or toes, especially on one side
- Numbness or tingling in the legs
Foot or toe - wounds that heal slowly or not at all
- Leg fatigue or weakness
- Pale, bluish, or shiny skin on the lower legs
- Needing to hang your foot off the bed at night to relieve pain
- Difficulty walking short distances without stopping to rest
If you have any of these it’s time to get checked.
Why Act Now?
PAD can often be treated without surgery when caught early.
But untreated, it can progress to severe circulation loss and even lead to limb amputation.
