Need test: You may have some blockage to blood flow to your legs that is causing this. It is an unusual presentation but worth a test to find out. Ask your GP to refer you for an ankle brachial index test. It is easy and they just measure your blood pressures in the arms and legs. It is a screening test for peripheral vascular disease. Also if you smoke, please try to stop.
