Dear Anonymous,

A pinching sensation on your legs is usually a sign of a nerve issue-- possibly nerve damage. I would recommend that you see your doctor as soon as you can to determine what is causing your pinching sensation. Sometimes it is caused by Sciatica, which starts in your lower back and comes down your leg.

Here is some more information on Sciatica: https://www.empowher.com/condition/sciatica/definition

Best Wishes,
