It can also damage your peripheral nerves. Since your feet are so far away from your heart and brain, they are easily affected by peripheral artery disease and peripheral neuropathy. Each disease poses its own set of issues. Suppose your feet don’t receive the necessary blood circulation due to peripheral artery disease. In that case, you will likely experience foot pain, leg weakness, and extreme cold. You may even develop gangrene, a serious issue that can cause loss of limb. Peripheral neuropathy prevents you from feeling any sensation in your feet.
