Good Morning Folks!! What is PAD?
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a chronic condition where plaque builds up in the arteries that carry blood to your legs. “Plaque” is a sticky substance made of fat and cholesterol. Over time, this plaque can gradually narrow the arteries. If it progresses, blood flow in that artery can become partially or completely blocked.
If you experience excessive cramps, pain, numbness, tingling and/or weakness in your legs AND have been diagnosed with atherosclerosis, diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Please consult with your doctor to be tested. PAD is treatable!! https://vascular.org/your-vascular-health/vascular-conditions/common-conditions/peripheral-artery-disease
