Numbness
Participating in any physical activity, including walking, may be difficult for a person with claudication, and occasionally, the pain progresses to numbness. An insufficient blood supply, a prime cause of claudication, generally causes numbness in the leg.
Something as simple as crossing the legs for lengthy periods can cause a person's legs to feel numb. This is due to compression of the nerves in the legs. Rest may alleviate the numbness caused by nerve pressure.
