Brief Answer:
Get evaluated by a neurologist and get treatment as advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
Numbness with pain may be due to nerve involvement.
Examination by a neurologist will reveal any deficit and need of nerve conduction testing.
Vitamin B 12 and vitamin D levels may be done.
Drugs like pregabalin or Gabapentin can be taken.
Headache may be due to migraine or stress.
Amitriptyline can be added.
MRI brain findings are incidental and not related to headache or limb pain.
