Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to a peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes.
I suggest using an over the counter treatment such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
If the symptoms continue, I suggest using prescription painkillers such as Gabapentin.
In such a case,you should see a neurologist.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
