Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. It is commonly neuropathy, associated usually in poor control of sugar in diabetes mellitus.
2. If you are not diabetic, it is a sign of Vit B12 deficiency usually. You will require supplements of Vit B12 for it.
3. However, if you are diabetic, sugar control is essential. Along with vit B12, you need to take alpha lipoic acid supplements.
4. Also do get a thyroid hormone profile if you have not done recently and you have gained plenty of weight since few months or if you are feeling excessively cold.
Hope it helps.
