Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Possible vitamin deficiency.
2. Peripheral neuropathy from Deficiency of vit B12 and also possible thiamine deficiency.
3. Take B-complex supplements along with diet rich in green leafy vegetables. If you have diabetes mellitus, control within normal range is necessary.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
