10 Aortic Aneurysm Symptoms
Symptom #3: Leg Pain
There are many causes of leg pain such as trauma and overuse. However, in an aortic aneurysm, leg pain can occur due to the risk of the development of blood clots.
The development of blood clots can cause a blood clot to block a vessel in any part of the body. In this case, it can block a vessel disrupting blood flow to the legs and can result in leg pain. Another contributing factor would be the growing size of the aneurysm that can cause compression on the nerves, resulting in leg pain and numbness.
