Hi Thanks for your query and Welcome to Lybrate. I am Dr Akshay from Fortis Hospital, New Delhi. These symptoms are called as Paresthesias and there can be many causes for this at your age. It can be due to compression of nerves at lower spine level, it can be due to long standing diseases like Diabetes or anything which can lead to Neuropathy , also it can be vascular in nature. There are medications for neuropathic symptoms like Pregabalin or Gabapentin which can be initiated in small doses , but we have to be sure that these symptoms are not due to vascular cause as you have mentioned in your history. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation. Thanks & Regards Dr Akshay Kumar Saxena Consultant Orthopaedics Fortis Hospital, New Delhi
