Hi,
You need to have detailed neurological examination specially sensory by a neurologist to see any signs of numbness, parasthesias etc. Also electrolytes levels and B12 and folic acid levels may be needed for such parasthesias.
If everything turns out to be normal, supportive treatment with supplements for B12 folic acid etc may be started along with Gabapentin or Duloxetine after discussing with your primary care physician.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
