hi, you seem to be overweight and suffering from neuropathy. it could be because of alcohol, obesity, multivitamin deficiency, or may be hypothyroidism. please get yourself checked for blood glucose , both fasting and 2 hour after meals, get your thyroid profile done, serum vitamin D and B12, peripheral pulses checked. see your doctor with all the reports and try losing some weight as well.
