A member asked:

Can a magnesium deficiency cause burning sensations in the legs and feet ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Burning and cramping can occur. However, there are many more reasons to have these symptoms than magnesium deficiency that are more common- like vascular insufficiency from vein or artery problems, gait disturbances, being overweight, etc.
