Hi,

I have gone through your query.
Tingling sensation and burning in hand and foot are suggestive of neuropathy. Since you are over weight , there might be nerve compression at cervical and lumbar spine. Other causes can be diabetes and low level of vitamin B12.

I suggest you to consult a neurologist for clinical examination and investigations like MRI spine, blood sugar level, vitamin b12 level and nerve conduction test to rule out the causes.

Any positive test results will help in starting treatment accordingly. Try to reduce your weight and you may also need to consult physiotherapist.

Hope I have answered you.


Wish you good health
Regards
