Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your symptoms are suggestive of peripheral neuropathy (disease of the nerves in skin over feet). The common underlying causes could be diabetes or vitamin B12 deficiency.
Please see a neurologist and get a nerve conduction studies (ENMG) done, which can help diagnose your problem.
Medications such as pregabalin capsules would help you at this stage.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
