Hello,
Consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
We have to rule out possible neurological causes like peripheral neuropathy.
A detailed evaluation including nerve conduction study is required for further assessment.
Make sure that your blood sugar is well controlled as high blood sugar can cause these symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
