General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks you for asking this question. I have undergone through your question. I understand your concern. It is clear that you are having nerve pain. It may be due to diabetes which causes neuropathy.
Advise
1. Get done your blood sugar - fasting and post-prandial
2. Continue taking other medicines
3. You can add tablet of vitamin B12 such as tablet Neurobion - once daily for 2 months
4. As you have elevated blood pressure which might be due to diabetic nephropathy, so get done routine examination urine, serum creatinine, serum total protein, serum albumin
5. Get done your lipid profile also
I hope this information will help you
I wish you a good health
