Brief Answer: Follows. Detailed Answer: Dear Madam, Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX Well looking into your problem I will like to tell you that whatever symptoms you are telling give rise to suspicion that you are suffering from peripheral neuropathy . There can be many reasons for it . I will advise you to visit a neurologist for it . A NCV of both legs will be required to determine the cause . A Serum vitamin B12 level is also required . Till then you should take a multivitamin tablet after due consultation with your treating doctor. Take care. Dr. Shruti
