Ayurveda Specialist,  's  Response
Hi,
I'm unable to deduce your age / sex and examine you directly, thus following is my opinion:
1. The symptoms of tingling and numbness could be because of long-standing high blood sugar, lack of vitamin B12, or chronic daily intake of alcohol.
2. Forgetfulness / rigidity could be because of early Parkinsonism.
3. Thus apart from seeing a rheumatologist, you should seek an opinion of Medical Specialist and Neurologist for a multidisciplinary approach that uses both medication and alternative or lifestyle strategies that may help decrease and improve symptoms.

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

Regards,
Dr. Munish Sood, Ayurveda Specialist
