Hi,

As per your query about numbness, tingling and cramping in legs is nerves related disorder either due to vitamin deficiency or it can be peripheral neuropathy, or compression of nerve can also cause this if it is mainly in one leg only. It is advisable to go for blood vitamin profile check up. Vitamin B complex supplements will be beneficial. I suggest you to consult a neurologist for the concern.

I hope this information helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
