10. Complications

If the underlying causes of claudication are left untreated, people can begin to feel constant pain in the affected limbs, even when they are not exercising. The poor circulation that causes claudication can also lead to ulcers and prevent limb injuries from healing properly. This can lead to gangrene, which in serious cases can require limb amputation.
