Lack of blood flow to muscles can be caused by several factors, including vascular obstructions like atherosclerosis, which narrows arteries, and blood clots that block circulation. Other contributing factors include external compression from tight clothing or muscle swelling, as well as conditions such as peripheral artery disease. Additionally, certain medical conditions, like Diabetes or Raynaud's phenomenon, can impair blood flow by affecting blood vessel function. Reduced blood flow leads to decreased oxygen and nutrient delivery, resulting in muscle fatigue and cramping.
