Hi

Your symptoms are suggestive of peripheral neuropathy.Generalised neuropathy should be tested for diabetes,hereditary disorders, inflammatory infections, auto-immune diseases, protein abnormalities, exposure to toxic chemicals (toxic neuropathy), poor nutrition or vitamin deficiency, kidney failure, chronic alcoholism, and certain medications.

Kindly check your blood sugar levels.Vitamin b12 injection can be administered.Drugs like pregabalin or amitriptylline may be administered by the physician to improve the symptoms.

Hope that was helpful.Let me know if i can assist you further.

Regards
