Brief Answer:
Neuropathy. Taking methylcobalamine should help.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Healthcaremagic.

I have gone through your query but would need further details to be able to answer your query. Please let me know
* how long you have been having the complaints.
* Any other associated symptoms.
* Any rashes.
* Are you sexually active?

I would await your response. Based on it I will guide you further. Try taking methylcobalamine (a form of B vitamin) 1500 mg once daily for the next week or so. The mentioned complaints could be due to deficiency of this vitamin. Let me know if that helps.

Regards
