Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Claudication is a condition where the cramp-like pains in the calves are caused by poor circulation in the leg muscles. DVT (A) is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, Raynaud disease (B) is a condition where the blood vessels narrow, reducing blood flow to the fingers and toes, and Raynaud phenomenon (C) is a temporary constriction of blood vessels in response to cold or emotional stress. None of these conditions specifically cause cramp-like pains in the calves.
