Hi There
I've read your query and understanding your concern.
I would like to tell you , if you have neuropathy then it's likely to have numbness or pain in legs and feet. Decrease in blood supply can cause pain in legs and ankles.
It is advisable to get your blood sugar, cholesterol level and one color Doppler for both legs done and then personally consult a physician with reports so that he can guide you in a proper way.
Hopefully I answered all your queries.
Wish you Good Luck
