Talk:Intermittent claudication

These
These signs are more specific to arterial disease in general than intermittent claudication. Intermittent claudication occurs intermittently - when walking. I'll update the definition to reflect that. We should consider removing most of these general signs of arterial disease or amending that section to reflect that....

In addition to what the person above has said; the P's are (poor) signs for an acute occlusion rather than the chronic course of intermittent claudication. The P's should not be described as they are here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dermotmallon (talk • contribs) 12:59, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Not sure how to edit...but vitamin E has been shown to prevent intermittent claudication, however studies have been poorly designed? Dont know if it's worth adding. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.86.251.66 (talk) 04:50, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Questionable Information Added
The information under Treatment included a line, Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), oral anticoagulants (warfarin), or chelation therapy is not effective. According to The Natural Pharmacy 3rd Edition, which is a book published by Three Rivers Press of New York, vitamin E and vitamin B3 are some of the nutritional treatments of intermittent claudication.

With no citation or source other than a Natural Nutrition book. I have reworded the paragraph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.254.16.201 (talk) 05:09, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Redness when limb is returned to a "dependent" position
What is a dependent position for a limb? (And, if not obvious, why is "dependent" quoted?) 78.147.57.47 (talk) 12:54, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
