HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The deep pain, burning and sensations of bugs crawling are likely related to neuropathy which may be the diagnosis given to you by your neurologist.
If the vitamin b12 were initially, this may have been the cause and the effects are not entirely resolved.
Since diabetes has been ruled out, other causes would need to be considered such as liver or kidney disease, side effect of medication, shingles or other infection, trauma, exposure to toxins.
I hope this helps
