Billie,
Hi! I am not a nurse or doctor, but I am wondering if he has spinal stenosis at some level in the lumbar spine. He seems to be having problems with the nerves being crunched...I think that might account for the cramping and the feeling of heat in the legs. It sounds too like he is having issues with the sciatica nerve.
I had formainal stenosis in the lumbar spine at all levels. I had cramping and the feet feel hot to the touch. I would think too that if he is hearing crunching in his knees, he needs an MRI of the knees.
I hope he feels better soon.
