Symptoms of blood clots in the leg arteries

Leg artery thrombosis is a relatively common disease. There are many causes of this disease. When this happens, it is very harmful to the body. It often causes cold hands and feet, poor blood circulation, blood vessel blockage, and often causes pain. The most obvious thing is that the color of the skin on the legs will change. If it is serious, it may even cause necrosis.

Symptoms of blood clots in the leg arteries

1. Cold hands and feet

And the feeling of numbness that is often accompanied may be an early manifestation of lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans. 2. Muscle pain, cramps, and fatigue

Muscle pain, cramps, and fatigue occur after activity or walking for a distance. Patients often need to stop activity or walking and rest for a few minutes before continuing activity or walking. This phenomenon is medically called "intermittent claudication."

Limb pain, numbness, and paresthesias may also be felt during rest time, especially at night. 4. Abnormal skin color

The skin color of the toes, feet and calves becomes abnormal, such as pale, purple, or black. In severe cases, ulcers and necrosis may occur. 5. Leg cramps

In addition to catching a cold or calcium deficiency, it may also be caused by arteriosclerosis, because when the arteries harden, blood circulation in the legs will be blocked and blood supply will be reduced. If blood flow is poor, metabolic products cannot be carried away in time. When they reach a certain concentration, they will stimulate muscle contraction and cause painful cramps. In addition, when blood flow is blocked and blood supply is reduced, local tissues become ischemic and hypoxic, and physiological and biochemical functions become disordered, causing pain and cramps. The above are the early manifestations of patients with lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans. If you experience some of the above symptoms, you must check whether you have lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans. If so, you must seek timely treatment.

Winter is a cold season for various thrombotic diseases, especially lower limb arterial embolism, which cannot be ignored. Lower limb pain and swelling are common clinical symptoms. However, a considerable number of patients do not know that they are ill when they experience these symptoms. They do not know whether they should see a doctor or which department to see. As a result, many patients do not go to the hospital until their feet are necrotic, but by then they have missed the best time for treatment and may even have to undergo amputation.
