Brief Answer:
She needs detailed evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your wife's symptoms and she needs detailed evaluation by a neurologist.
The pain seems to be neuropathic and further investigations such as MRI scan may be needed to find out the cause of her symptoms.
In XXXXXXX you can consult Dr XXXXXXX XXXXXXX at Manipal Hospitals, old airport road.
In the meanwhile, she can take pregabalin capsules for relief of symptoms.
I hope my reply has helped you.
