Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a peripheral neuropathy. Damage to the peripheral nerves can cause a leg burning sensation. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. I also suggest to check the glycemic level to exclude a diabetes.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
