Symptoms of PAD include leg pain or cramping during activities like walking or climbing stairs, which typically goes away after a few minutes of rest. Other symptoms may include leg numbness or weakness, coldness in the lower leg or foot, sores on the toes, feet, or legs that won’t heal, a change in the color of the legs, hair loss or slower hair growth on the feet and legs, slower growth of toenails, shiny skin on the legs, and no pulse or a weak pulse in the legs or feet.
