Hello,
The symptoms can be related to neuropathy due to poor circulation of the blood. I suggest consulting a neurologist for a specific treatment.
Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three times a day.
If it is not effective, I suggest using Pregabalin which is a prescription medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
