claudication
Cramping while walking
Claudication is limping or lameness, particularly the cramping leg pain that occurs during walking and subsides with rest.
The condition typically results from inadequate blood flow to the muscles: The patient's claudication worsened, forcing him to stop every block.
Doctors speak of intermittent claudication when the symptom comes and goes with exertion.
