Hello,

You may be suffering from neuropathy or spinal cord compression or radiculopathy etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Use painkiller medication, please get it done blood sugar levels, nerve conduction studies, MRI of the spine then consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

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

Regards,
