Musculoskeletal

  • Leg Pain

    When this occurs in the arms or legs, it is known as peripheral artery disease (PAD). A partial blockage in an artery of the leg can lead to leg pain and cramping. [msdmanuals.com]

    It is caused by severe PAD and is manifested by leg pain (even at rest), numbness, coldness or pain in the feet and legs, and non-healing leg or foot ulcers.7 Critical limb ischemia is a major cause of limb amputation.9-11 About half of people who have [cadth.ca]

Treatment

Some of the newer angioplasty technologies also use a drug-coated balloon to reduce post-treatment cell proliferation or restenosis (when narrowing of the diameter of the artery recurs after treatment). [cadth.ca]

Some lifestyle treatment options include quitting smoking and exercising. A doctor or healthcare professional can recommend ways to treat peripheral artery disease. [msdmanuals.com]

Prevention
