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.
Intermittent claudication is an early symptom of peripheral artery disease (PAD) caused by atherosclerosis (narrowing and hardening of the arteries). It's characterized by pain, cramping, and tiredness felt in the legs during exercise although it can sometimes occur in the arms, too.
