Hi
The drugs you are mentioned are mainly to address the peripheral neuropathy associated with diabetes. PN causes tingling and numbness and burning sensation in feet and sole.
But your problems seems to be of joint involvement
You may need further evaluation in the form of imaging ( x ray) and blood tests.
Consult a doctor
Meanwhile you can use NSAIDs (pain killers ) eg:-ibuprofen 400 mg twice daily after food ,for symptomatic improvement
Thank you
