Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
After reading your symptoms, I feel that you may have developed a mild form of peripheral nerve neuritis. It is a harmless condition, but is unpleasant and needs to be treated.
I would recommend you to get your blood sugar levels checked and visit either a neurophysician or an orthopedic doctor for examination if this problem does not improve.
Your doctor mostly will give you a neurotonic like methylcobalamine tablets for a a couple of months which will resolve your problem.

If you have any more queries, I'll be happy to help.
Regards
