What Is PAD?
PAD stands for peripheral artery disease. It’s a condition that leads to pain in your legs and feet due to insufficient blood flow. Arteries are the blood vessels that carry blood away from your heart to the rest of your body. When those vessels become blocked, you require a timely treatment to keep the disease from progressing, leading to potentially serious consequences, such as an amputation.
In Brooklyn, you can find the best vein and artery disease doctor at the Downtown Vein & Vascular Center. The experienced team in the state-of-the-art facility provide exceptional care for this potentially life-threatening disease to ensure your continued health.
How Do I Know if I Need PAD Treatment?
You may have few or no symptoms, or you may experience pain in your buttocks or legs when you’re walking or exercising, which is a condition called claudication. You may have pain in your calves and feet at rest or leg and foot cramps at night or you can develop non-healing ulcers on your feet.
Other common indicators of peripheral artery disease include:
- Sores on your toes or legs that are slow to heal
- Faint pulse in your ankles
- Legs that are cold to the touch
- Arms that hurt when performing small tasks like knitting or typing
- Discoloration of skin in your lower extremities
- Hair on your feet and toes that stops growing
