hello there,
do you smoke? if yes then it affects the blood vessels and nerves and cause the above complains.
do u drink? then it can cause rise in your blood uric acid level and cause such complains.
kindly get your legs examined by a surgeon to rule out varicose veins and DVT, few tests he will do to rule them out and diagnose respectively.
we need the tests that were done.
Check the list of tests and kindly get the ones not done- complete blood count, blood sugar, blood uric acid.
Till then you can try and avoid alcohol, smoking, oily, fried food.
For pain you can take tablet ibugesic.
regards
