Brief Answer:
Peripheral neuropathy
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. It appears to be loss of sensory neural sensation.
2. Usually commonly seen in peripheral neuropathy.
3. It is commonly seen in diabetes or vit B12 deficiency.
4. Few medications or certain medical conditions related to liver or kidney are also known to cause similar symptoms. More details necessary for specific opinion.
5. For balance, you need to be more on flat areas. In irregular surface areas, need to move with caution. Walking stick will help in balance. Also, good shoes or slippers, even inside house necessary to prevent foot injuries.
At present, start taking vit B12 and alpha lipoic acid supplements. Controlling of the condition prevents further deterioration.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
