General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

It’s neuropathic pain due to nerve injury. Uncontrolled diabetes and other neurological causes can also result in a similar clinical picture.

Consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
