I am a diabetic patient for last 3 years. Recently I am feeling huge pain in my right leg specially while driving car. The position of pain area changes sometime on right side of knee or on the calf muscle but eventually it appears pain is somehow related to the last two fingers of my right leg. Both the fingers sometime feel like glued to each other and sometime pain appears to start from there and go till knee.
