Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms that you are having are likely to be related to benign causes like electrolyte imbalance, vitamin B 12 deficiency, etc. Most of the times these symptoms can be taken care of by taking electrolyte rich fluids and Methylcobalamin supplements. To have better relief, drugs like gabapentin are helpful. But these are prescription medicines and are best if taken under the guidance of your neurologist.

Quadriceps and stretching exercises will be helpful.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
