Brief Answer:
Take methylcobalamine supplement

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. The mentioned symptoms could be due to deficiency of B vitamins and taking of methylcobalamine supplement once daily for a fortnight can help in resolution of the problem. However, you also need to get your fasting blood sugar levels checked since diabetes could lead to development of peripheral neuropathy which could present with similar complaints.

Let me know if I could help further.
