Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
More or less both legs are involved ( right somewhat more).
I want to make , clear ,that varicose veins are nothing to do with this pain & numbness and pins & needles symptoms.
Your age is 52 years and this age is prone to many diseases as,
Diabetes,
Hypertension,
Thrombosis ( both legs),
Neuropathy.
Pinched nerve is not possible as both legs are involved.
Consult a physician and get in blood for lipid profiles, sugar, creatinine , C B C.
Take treatment after the advice of physician.
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question I will help.
Get well soon.
