Vascular pain is pain that is caused as a result of interruption of blood flow to a tissue, organ or nerves. Common symptoms include tingling, numbness, pain, and heaviness in the areas affected by the lack of vascular supply.
What causes vascular pain?
- Vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels)
- Coronary artery disease.
- Circulatory problems.
- Vascular ruptures (breakages)
- Blood vessel spasms.
- Ischemia (condition in which blood supply to organs, tissues or limbs is cut off)
- Buttock pain
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs
- Burning or aching pain in the feet or toes while resting
- A sore on a leg or a foot that will not heal
- One or both legs or feet feeling cold or changing color (pale, bluish, dark reddish)
- Loss of hair on the legs
- Impotence
Therapies to treat vascular pain can include medications, angioplasty, or bypass surgery. Angioplasty is a procedure to reduce or eliminate blockages in blood vessels. In bypass surgery, surgeons take a segment of a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body and make a detour around the blocked blood vessel.
