Possible Peripheral Neuropathy?Need confirmation

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.

I can understand your concern.

As per your symptoms, you probably seem to have peripheral neuraopathy.

This can cause wide symptoms like coldness, burning, warmth, excesisve sweating, sometimes absent sweating and pain.

Based on your symptom profile, I advise you to get the following investigations.

1. NCS-nerve conduction study.
2. Vitamin B12 levels.
3. Blood sugar assessment -Hb1ac , FBS, PPBS.

Treatemt with antineuropathy agents like Pregabalina and Methyl cobalamin will help to drastically improve your symptoms.

Please check with your physicain if he shares my view and if can prescribe these drugs to you.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
