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!
