What Causes Numbness And Cold Water Sensation On Legs?

I have a cold water sensation like droplets running down my legs. First one leg above the ankle & several days later affecting the other leg from the calf downward. Also numbness in my left knee, left lateral. I had knee replacement surgery (both knees) 13 years ago. Both knees are beginning to bother me , little pain, not severe.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hello, I have studied your case and I think that these symptoms are due to nerve related issue. You may be having low serum B12 or high sugar which is damaging your nerves and causing these strange sensation.
I would suggest you to get your serum B12 estimation, and blood sugar check up. start tablet Pregabalin and Methylcobal one daily with your doctor's consult. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
Thanks
