Claudication is pain and/or cramping in the lower leg due to inadequate blood flow to the muscles. The pain usually causes the person to limp. The word claudication comes from the Latin claudicare meaning to limp. Claudication typically is felt while walking, and subsides with rest.
Any of these conditions may cause decreased blood flow in arteries and/or veins. Some symptoms that may occur when blood flow decreases to the legs include, but are not limited to, the following: Leg pain and/or weakness during exertion (known as claudication). Swelling. Soreness, tenderness, redness, and/or warmth in the leg(s). Pale and cool skin; may even be grayish or blue. Numbness or tingling.
