Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms of your mother can be related to peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes.
I suggest to try an anti inflammatory medication such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
If the symptoms continue, I suggest using a prescription painkiller such as Gabapentin.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
