After going through your query I concluded that you may be having radiating pain from inner thigh to the legs.As you are having diabetes for 47 years so most likely it is due to diabetic neuropathy.You should get control on your diabetes. Mecobalamine may be useful in neuropathy. For pain you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered.
