What Causes Stiffening Of Calf Muscles, Skin Discoloration And Numbness?
my sister in law had what looks like hardening of her calf muscles and the skin decolorizes to turn brown to dark brown. She experienced numbness and also tingling sensations when scratched on her skin. Her late father had diabetes and had his legs amputated due to the same look alike condition. Is there any advice on this problem.?

Hi, there!
Your complains lead to think about venous insufficiency.
Duplex-sonography is needed to scan blood vessels and further compression socks using.
Keep legs elevated when not walking
I hope this helps
