Do you know about Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)? It’s a serious condition where arteries in your legs get narrowed due to plaque buildup, reducing blood flow. 🦵 Early Signs to Watch For: ✔️ Leg pain while walking ✔️ Numbness or weakness in legs ✔️ Slow-healing wounds or ulcers ✔️ Coldness in feet or toes ⚠️ Ignoring PAD can lead to ulcers, gangrene, or even amputation. 💡 Good News: PAD is preventable! 👉 Quit smoking, eat healthy, exercise regularly, and manage diabetes, BP & cholesterol. ✅

Peripheral artery disease is a common condition in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the arms or legs. Mayo Clinic’s multidisciplinary team of experts work together to assess and treat the underlying reasons for developing peripheral artery disease, as well as the condition, to provide the highest level of function possible.
