Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir XXXXXXX Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.

I have noted your symptoms and they are suggestive of peripheral neuropathy, a disease of nerves of skin.

This can be confirmed by doing nerve conduction studies.

Common causes of peripheral neuropathy are diabetes, vitamin B12 deficiency and thyroid disease, which can be tested in blood tests.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,

Dr Sudhir XXXXXXX MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
