Al Marsad Newspaper: A certain sensation after walking is a warning sign that cholesterol is invading the arteries.
A sign of this process appears in the leg, and allowing high levels of cholesterol to build up silently in the arteries encourages plaque buildup in this area.
Interestingly, the plaques are a mixture of fatty substances, cell waste products, calcium and fibrin, according to the newspaper “Express”.
The lack of blood supply to the legs also sometimes leads to a common condition known as peripheral artery disease (PAD). The first symptom of PAD can also be an uncomfortable feeling known as a “Charlie’s crotch” muscle spasm, which it occurs in any muscle in the body, but most often in the leg.
And when the muscle is in a state of spasm, it contracts without your control and doesn’t relax, and your muscles can feel tired. .
PAD eventually causes other symptoms, including:
1- A burning or aching pain in the toes, especially at night while sleeping.
2-redness or change in skin color.
3-infection.
4- Toe ulcers that do not heal.
