Hi,

Vitamin B12 or B6 deficiency can give this. In such case taking supplements of these will be helpful. You can also check the blood levels of these vitamins.

Diabetics are more prone to get such symptoms due to neuropathy. Check your blood sugar levels also. Urea and creatinine levels of blood should be checked to know the kidney function also.

If these are clear then blood circulation of leg should be checked by Doppler examination to rule out problems with blood supply.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
