How can I tell if my leg pain is due to peripheral arterial disease (PAD)?

It can be complicated to figure it out and it takes a team approach by your primary care provider, VISP doctor, and other specialists. One of the most common indicators of PAD in the legs is claudication, or pain/tiredness/cramping/fatigue in the calf muscles when walking a reproducible distance, which is relieved at rest. Your VISP doctor can help differentiate between PAD and other causes of leg pain.
