Hi welcome to the health care magic
Your job according to history needs more walking
So your electrolytes level should be checked esp sodium, potassium and calcium for this complaints...
Main hydration daily along with fruit juices also
Second your reflexes and neurological examination is to be done for rule out neuropathy
If specific cause found than treated accordingly
If you are obese than loose weight and avoid smoking
Even if still no cause identified peripheral arterial disease ruled out by colour doppler
Consult physician for examination
