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.
A build-up of plaque in blood vessels in the legs can diminish blood flow to the region, which in turn, can cause leg pain. This type of pain is sometimes called arterial claudication, and almost always follows a pattern of arising during activity and disappearing with rest.
