The picture you describe is suggestive of neuropathy. Neuropathy means inflammation of the peripheral nerves, and it may cause sensory complains like pain and numbness, also motor complains such as weakness.

Unfortunately neuropathy is difficult to treat, and medications may not resolve the complain completely.

An important point in treatment of neuropathy is to treat the cause, for example tight control of blood sugar in diabetes.

Best wishes.
