Your doctor wants to see your feet, but not in a creepy way. They’ll be checking for signs of peripheral artery disease or PAD, including cold feet, wounds that are slow to heal and poor nail growth. Tell your doctor if you have pain in the hips, thighs or calves when walking, climbing stairs or exercising. Catching PAD early can prevent serious complications, including amputation.
