The differences in symptoms is the best way to identify if poor circulation or peripheral neuropathy is to blame for symptoms like tingling in toes, which is present in both conditions commonly. Regardless, it is a good idea to see a health care provider if symptoms are present in either case.
People with poor circulation or peripheral artery disease may not have any symptoms, or they may have mild pain or âburningâ in the feet. 1  The pain may occur with walking or exercise and decrease with rest. Other symptoms associated with peripheral artery disease include: 1  Painful cramping of the muscles in the hip, thigh, or calf after activity (claudication) 2  Leg numbness or weakness. 3  Coldness in the lower leg or foot, compared with other parts of the body. 4  A sore, poorly healing wound or ulcer on the toe, foot, or leg.
