Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There are many medical conditions that can cause your symptoms.
In my opinion, diabetic neuropathy is the possible cause.
I would recommend some examinations to evaluate better the situation.
A complete blood count to exclude an infection
An ultrasound to exclude an internal hemorrhage
Coagulation time and hemorrhage time
Meanwhile, I recommend taking Baclofen three times a day.
I also suggest using topical pain killers such as Voltaren gel.
You should also take vitamin B12 supplement.
After the examinations you can contact me again for further evaluation and a specific treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
