Hello,
Thanks for the query.
From the details I think she has got thyroid problem and her leg and finger symptoms are due to peripheral neuropathy.
Peripheral neuropathy often causes numbness and pain in your hands and feet. People typically describe the pain of peripheral neuropathy as tingling or burning, and loss of sensation. Peripheral neuropathy is caused by nerve damage.
I think you should consider seeing an endocrinologist who on clinical examination can confirm the diagnosis. The doctor may want you to do tests like blood sugar levels, thyroid function tests, liver/kidney function tests. A nerve conduction study can also be of great help. Treatment is usually directed towards the likely cause. In your mother's case it will be directed towards her thyroid issue.
Doctor will also advise vitamin supplements with nerve specific pain killers.
Hope this answers your question. Please ask if there are doubts.
Regards
