Hi

Thanks for asking.

I understand your concern.
Nerve pains at different parts of body suggest B12 deficiency /base of neck /pelvic region /spinal problems at lumber or cervical region.
All them can cause pressure on nerves suply affecting limbs to cause symptoms.

You need investigations like serum B12 determination or MRI of spine .
This would pin point the site of cause followed by specific treatment (medicines/physiotherapy /surgery)

Thanks.
