Is There Chances For Arterial Occlusion Or Amputation?
I have exercise induced lower extremity claudication and exhibit no risk factors for PAD, I m only 27 and have been in the army for 9 years. I fear it is popliteal entrapment syndrome. It went undiagnosed for around 4 to 5 years. Am I at risk for arterial occlusion or amputation?

HI
Well come to HCM
No this may not be the case because this could be just your ideas, if this is claudication and this can be managed initially with general care like drinking more water, keep the limb in elevated position, some time vitamin E can be tried, there would be no risk of any kind, hope this information helps.
