Hi,
The severe leg cramps with pinching sensation is due to chronic diabetic neuropathy condition affecting peripheral nerves blood supply via secondary changes in peripheral vessels. My guidelines at present:
- Vigilant control of body weight
- Regular walking, exercises including aerobics
- Strict control of diabetes, blood pressure, serum cholesterol
- Supportive medications with pregabaline, vitamin B12 and folic acid, zinc, magnesium
- Analgesic as tramadol hydrochloride as per the need
Discuss the need of HBA1c and Doppler ultrasound investigation of lower limb with your treating physician during next scheduled visit.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
