8. When to Seek Help

Anyone experiencing pain or cramping in their legs or arms that worsens with exercise should seek medical attention. While the pain itself is not dangerous, developing claudication is a sign of hardening in the arteries, which can lead to more serious conditions if not treated. Furthermore, the pain caused by claudication can get in the way of enjoying day-to-day activities.
