HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The type of sensations that you are describing may be due to neuralgia- nerve related pain.

This can be due to different possible causes such as: (a) vitamin b12 or folate deficiency
(b)diabetes
(c)liver or kidney disease
(d)trauma to the nerves in the area
(e)thyroid disease
(f)autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus
(g)nerve conditions such as ms or stroke
(h)side effect of medication
(i)cause unknown
(j)infections

To determine the cause, if the symptoms continue, you would need to consider seeing your doctor for assessment.
This should include physical examination, blood tests (complete blood count, thyroid function tests, vitamin b12 or folate levels, liver or kidney function tests)

I hope this helps
