Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve (tarsal tunnel syndrome). For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing nerve conduction studies.
I would also recommend checking uric acid plasma levels. A Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels may be needed if all the above tests result normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
