Dear, As a patient you have every right to question the doctor who asks for a blood test. Please demand an answer from the doctor. To diagnose your legs pulling away, there may be many causes. Since it is not readily diagnosable, you need to take the help of few blood tests. CBC ESR are routine tests done basically for everyone with vague symptoms. Based on the results he may order more specific tests to diagnose you properly. Unless you are diagnosed properly, you can not be treated. MBBS doctors don't give only symptomatic treatment.
