Answer #1

ANSWER 12: The correct alternative is - Peripheral Arterial Disease(PAD)

REASON- The diagnosis was to have undergone the Peripheral Arterial Disease. This was suggested from the suspect /patient undergoing extreme pain and fatigue in legs. Similarly, in Peripheral Arterial Disease the patient suffering is diagnosed with a common circulatory problem in which the arteries generally narrowed mainly due to the accumulation of fatty deposits (artheroslerosis), which may reduce the blood flow to the extrimities or the limbs, which usually occurs in legs. The typical symptoms include mild symptoms like claudification(leg pain/muscle cramp in your legs while walking), fatigue, leg numbness, sores on toes.
