Brief Answer:
Seems to be a neuritic pain

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting the question.
I have gone through your medical history in detail.

You seem to be suffering from a severe form of peripheral neuropathy.
Underlying vitamin B6 and B12 deficiency seems to be the reason.

You should get these levels checked in blood.

Start on vitamin and calcium / vitamin D supplements as early as possible to avoid future complications.

Analgesics like ibuprofen / tramadol will help relieving the pain factor.

I hope the answer was useful.

Feel free to ask me any follow up queries that you may have.

Thank you.
Kind regards.
