hi
if you are a heavy smoker, you may have to cut it as circulatory impairments are often reported in smokers.This can be verified on doppler ultrsound of legs. But do not worrry, consult a doctor and try vitamin b complex ,massage therapy and physical therapy as well.Avoid lifting heavy objects, do back strengthening exercises and wear a brace for back
