Hello,
I would explain that your symptoms could be related to peripheral arteriopathy or peripheral neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies.
For this reason, I would recommend performing a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels and nerve conduction studies. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
