Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Stinging intermittent pain is sometimes related neuropathy- nerve related pain. This can occur in a number of different conditions including autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus etc.
Other causes are- low vitamin b12/ folate, diabetes, kidney or liver disease, side effect of medication, trauma, thyroid disease etc.
You should consider going to your doctor for assessment.
I hope this helps.
