Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I am Dr. Kakkar. I have gone through your query.
You seem to have paresthesia/peripheral neuropathy.
I would like to have a few more details from you.
-How long standing is the problem?
-Was your blood work for blood sugar/diabetes normal?
-Any history of alcoholism?
-Any history of chronic illness e.g renal disease?
I would suggest you to take an oral Vit B12 supplement, in a dose of 750 mcg to 1500 mcg once daily. It is available as both oral as well as injectable form.
Vit B 12 is helpful in ameliorating and reversing these nerve related symptoms e.g pins and needle sensation, tingling and burning sensation etc
Kindly get back to me with the details.
