If your legs or feet feel numb or weak while you are resting, it could be a sign of PAD. “Some patients will just say their legs get weak and feel like they will give out, and some get numbness in their feet,” says Dr. Schneider.

One angioplasty and two procedures later, I can honestly say, YOU dont want this pain. Its no joke wondering when and if a blood clot will suddenly kill you. As well as calf in leg, never stops hurting.
