Hello,
May be suffering from neuropathic pain it may be due to B12 deficiency or compression of nerve etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Get it done seum 12 levels, nerve conduction study, MRI spine and get treated accordingly. You may use tablet pregabalin 75 mg once a day for five days. If no improvement please consult with your neurophysician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
