Thank you for the reply. He is visiting the physician very often but no sign of improvement. Can you please suggest any physician who can look at his report and provide us the guidance.

Leg cramps and leg pain may occur after a dialysis procedure. It commonly occurs if large amounts of weight are removed. I would recommend that you speak with his physician.

You need to go back to your gp and investigate this. It sounds as if sciatica is the issue and it may or may not be related issues. An mri may be needed to look for the cause.
