Hello,
Regarding your question ,symptoms you mentioned are suggestive of neuropathic pain so I would recommend you to do NCS Nerve conduction studies and vitamin D3 levels. Meanwhile you can use topical Xylocaine gel or Capsicum gel for relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
