Brief Answer:
Possible Peripheral Neuropathy

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir

I can certainly understand your concern

I have worked through your attached query in detail

As per your symptoms the possibility of a peripheral Neuropathy is very high.

It's advisable to rule out Diabetes Mellitus and Compressive spine disease through appropriate tests.

Most likely it responds to a short course of oral anti-inflammatory drugs like Gabapentin and Methylcobalamin.

Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these medications to improve your symptoms.

Post your further queries if any
Thank you
