Brief Answer:
It's suggestive of inflamed nerves

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma'am,
Thanks for your reply.
You seem to be suffering from inflamed nerves (peripheral neuritis).
Had I been your treating physician, I would have advised the following:
1. Tab Pregabalin or Gabapentine twice daily.
2. Tab Mecobalamin twice daily.
Continue these medications for at least 4-6 weeks.
3. Avoid lifting heavy objects.
4. Avoid using soft mattress while taking rest.
5. Do regular exercise (casual walking) to reduce the body weight if you are obese.
Hope the suggestions given above would be helpful.
Best regards.
