Pain/needles in legs

2021-06-08 13:20:25
My father underwent bypass surgery 2 yrs back. He is diabetic from past 10+yrs. After surgery,he is suffering with pain/needles in legs from where graft has taken. Day time he looks ok, during night his problem increases and could not sleep properly. When we checked with the surgeon, he suggested to check with neurologist to evaluate the issue. Pls tell me if this is normal problem, any special medication needed?
