Brief Answer:
Symptoms are suggestive of neuropathy.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and they are suggestive of peripheral neuropathy; where the nerves in the skin get affected. It is possible that the nerves got mechanically compressed due to prolonged sitting while on long drive.

This would improve with medications such as vitamin B12 supplements and pregabalin capsules in a few days.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
