Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

I would like to think that there is a possibility of deficiency of Vitamin B12 although there could be a neurological disease also. I suggest get Vitamin B12 levels and if they are normal then Consult a neurologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
