Hello,
At your age the most common cause and likely explanation could be lack of VIT B12.Other cause could be deficiency of Calcium and VIT D.
Please get tested for these and if found deficient take proper medication for these in consultation with your doctor.
However if you don't have these causes,then a proper search for the causes have to be made which may include
Peripheral artery disease
Sciatica
Varicose veins XXXXXXX vein thrombosis etc.
Slight high MPV could be a normal finding and has to be monitored on regular basis,as a persistent rising trend would have to be investigated further.
Please get back to me in case you have something else to ask.
Best of luck
