hi please check your calcium & other electrolyte levels. pain con be mostly due to neuropathic cause, or lock up legs can be due to derangement of calcium or potassium levels. if these levels are within normal limits,you can go with multivitamins added with methylcobalamine & pregablin, to reduce the pain & the related problems. all the best take care
