Claudication is a pain, cramp, or sense of fatigue that results from the lower blood flow to the muscles during exercise. This affects the muscle group of the lower extremities and causes pain in the legs depending on the pace and duration of the walk. It is relieved promptly within a few minutes of rest in positions such as standing evenly on both feet. This condition can occur anywhere in the body, but is predominantly in the legs. Even though the pain is not constant and subsides with rest, it can be a symptom of peripheral artery disease.
