Brief Answer:
Peripheral neuropathy
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. It is peripheral neuropathy.
2. Possible Vit B12 deficiency.
3. Take Vit B-complex supplements twice daily for at least 2-3 months. Also increase fish and eggs in diet to improve vitamin levels.
4. If pain persists, local capsaicin application or oral gabapentin medication will be helpful.
You will require prescription for gabapentin.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
