Pain in leg
From last 2 months have pain in leg below knee, agrevate in foot If sleeping under fan. I have diabetes and hb1ac was 6.7 around 2 months back. Which doc to consult.
Also can it be due to erythema as it started with thighs and then moved down, in foot I have a burning sensation, and touching the skin was painful, now this has reduced, but the pain in foot is increasing and it is becoming troublesome to sleep.
Again It started in last in last 2 months only. Which doc I have to consult for this and any recommendations
