Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Yes, you should see a doctor
The description may mean –
- Ischemia / intermittent claudication from deficient blood supply
- Entrapment neuropathy / muscle or nerve compression from fascia
You may need a few investigations…
Take care
Wishing all well
God bless
Good luck
