Leg pain? 5 symptoms you shouldn’t ignore

Pain, aching, numbness or heaviness in your legs could be symptoms of peripheral artery disease (PAD). The condition is caused by a lack of blood flow due to narrowed or blocked blood vessels.

The good news is you don’t have to live with leg pain. If you notice these symptoms, our physicians at Baptist Heart Specialists can help:

1. Leg pain when walking 2. Sores or wounds on the toes, feet or legs that heal slowly or not at all 3. A pale or bluish color to the skin 4. A lower temperature in one leg compared to the other 5. Poor toenail growth and decreased hair growth on the legs Why live with pain? Call us today for an assessment at Baptist South.
