General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

To my opinion, your legs are hurting and getting numbed due to any problem related to your leg nerves (neuropathy).

I advise to:
- check your blood sugar level
- run a Doppler ultrasound to rule out local blood clot
- run neurological and muscular examinations to rule out neuropathy
- run X-ray of knee to rule out knee arthritis

Depending on the tests results, specific treatment will be prescribed!
