What is claudication?
Source: Medical News Today
Claudication is muscular pain, cramping, or fatigue that typically occurs during exercise and goes away with rest.
Claudication is primarily a symptom of conditions that reduce blood flow in the legs, especially peripheral artery disease (PAD).
The term claudication comes from the Latin word for limp, which is 'claudicare'. Claudication is also commonly referred to as intermittent claudication.
