Hi

Any cause of peripheral neuropathy should be ruled out .Kindly check your blood sugar level both fasting and postprandial to rule out any diabetic neuropathy.

Completely avoiding any movements can increase the pain hence daily walking is recommended. Physiotherapy can also be helpful in reducing the discomfort.Vitamin B12 and B6 are useful in reducing nerve pain. They are available in tablet forms which can be taken daily after food


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
