Yes, its one of the possible presentation
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
Yes, this presentation is possible with varicose veins and associated thrombophlebitis. Diabetic neuropathy due to long standing diabetes mellitus is also a possibility. Neurological examination of the feet and a Doppler ultrasound of the lower limb would provide conclusive evidence to treat these symptoms on vascular or neurological basis. Gabapentin, B 12, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, muscle relaxants can be advised if its related to diabetic neuropathy and varicose veins and no vascular pathology is detected.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
