According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, one in every 20 Americans over the age of 50 has PAD., a condition that raises the risk for heart attack and stroke.


People who do experience symptoms, such as pain or cramping in the legs, often do not report them, believing it is a natural part of aging. But besides leg pain and cramping there are many other things people suffering with PAD need to be aware of.
