Hello,
It may be peripheral neuropathy or mononeuropathy or plexopathy etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Control your blood sugar level, use tablet Pregabalin.
If symptoms not improved please consult your neuro physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
