Hi,

Your symptoms seem to be related to peripheral neuropathy. There are several medical conditions that cause these symptoms. I suggest you to do a glycemia blood level to exclude diabetes which is one of the common causes.

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