What are the typical symptoms of peripheral arterial disease?

Symptoms.
Coldness in the lower leg or foot, especially when compared with the other side..
Leg numbness or weakness..
No pulse or a weak pulse in the legs or feet..
Painful cramping in one or both of the hips, thighs or calf muscles after certain activities, such as walking or climbing stairs..
Shiny skin on the legs..

What is the classic symptom of patients with peripheral arterial disease?

The classic symptom of PAD is pain in the legs with physical activity, such as walking, that gets better after rest. However, up to 4 in 10 people with PAD have no leg pain. Symptoms of pain, aches, or cramps with walking (claudication) can happen in the buttock, hip, thigh, or calf.

What physical assessment findings should the nurse anticipate when examining a patient with peripheral artery disease in a lower extremity?

Physical examination findings suggestive of PAD include abnormal pulses, audible bruits, nonhealing lower extremity wounds, lower extremity gangrene, elevation pallor, dependent rubor, delayed capillary refill, and cool extremities ( Table 2 ). Patients with one or more of these findings should undergo ABI testing.

What is the most common presentation of peripheral arterial disease?

The most common symptom of lower-extremity peripheral artery disease is painful muscle cramping in the hips, thighs or calves when walking, climbing stairs or exercising. The pain of PAD often goes away when you stop exercising, although this may take a few minutes. Working muscles need more blood flow.
