Peripheral artery disease can reduce blood flow to the legs. Symptoms may include pain while walking, coldness, numbness, colour changes or wounds that heal slowly.
Assessment and treatment
A vascular assessment considers symptoms, pulses and appropriate testing. Treatment can include risk-factor management, exercise guidance, medicines and procedures when indicated.
Do not ignore walking pain
Recurring pain with activity, especially when it is getting worse, is worth discussing with a specialist.
