What Causes Fluttering Sensation In Lower Left Leg?
I am 72 yrs. old and in very good health. I just started feeling a sensation in my lower left leg, starting from the top of my foot and up my leg about three inches. It feels like a fluttering sensation and it keeps stoping and going. Only medical problem is glaucoma and only prescription medicine that I take.

Hello I understand your concern.
Its good to know that being 72 you don't have any other ailment except glaucoma.
You are feeling fluttering sensation in your left leg. Considering your age, Tingling or numbness or fluttering sensation in the legs is due to calcium or Vitamin B deficiency. You can start with calcium supplement once daily and vitamin B complex supplement once daily for 30 days.
Eat lots of fruits like banana, custard apple and drink milk.
Hope this will help you.
