Hello.
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I can help you.
The symptoms of the upper limb are suggestive of a median nerve problem.
The symptoms of the foot is suggestive of a Tarsal tunnel syndrome.
These are both nerve related issues due to the compression of the nerve.
They are common neuropathies.
You will need to test a nerve conduction study to confirm the diagnosis.
Pregabalin may be initiated thereafter for the neuropathy depending on the severity of the disease.
Best of luck, Dr Mittal
