Would a problem with the femoral artery cause chronic muscle pain in legs?

Absolutely. Peripheral vascular disease (atherosclerosis or inflammation of peripheral blood vessels, such as those in the leg) can diminish blood flow to the leg muscles, which causes pain known as claudication. It is very common--I forget the exact statistic but something like 20% of Americans older than 65 have PVD. Initially it presents as pain that comes with walking a fixed distance but gradually progresses to pain at rest. If you are a smoker, then the single most easily modifiable risk factor is to stop smoking. If you are having pain like this, then you need to see a doctor. A doctor will be able to determine whether the pain is from vascular disease, or from another cause (like spinal stenosis). More importantly, if you do have PVD, a doctor will also be able to evaluate you for heart disease, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes, which are dangerous but treatable, and commonly associated with PVD.

What is vascular calcification of the femoral artery?

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a naturally occurring condition of the arteries, which is present within every man and woman. However, the severity of the disease varies hugely. Smoking, obesity, diabetes and other risk factors increase the severity of the disease. Over time, fatty deposits (atheroma) build up within the vessel. These eventually calcify (become hard and brittle). This causes turbulent blood flow, which in turn leads to formation of thrombus, arterial occlusion or stenosis (narrowing or blockage) and symptoms associated with this. Calcification can happen within any vessel, including the femoral artery.


Where can I find info on peripheral artery disease?

The most informed place to find out more information about PVD would be with your family physician, but online research may give you some accurate information before speaking with your physician.


How is Peripheral Vascular Disease related to smoking?

PVD is caused by a slowage or stoppage of blood through the blood vessels in the arms and legs. Smoking causes vasoconstriction ( constriction or narrowing of the blood vessels). When the blood can't flow as fast through the veins (because they are narrowed), the tissues are waiting for the blood get to them because they need oxygen to produce energy. In the meantime they need energy to survive so they produce the energy without oxygen. The byproduct of that production is lactic acid, which builds up in the tissue causing the pain you experience with PVD.
