Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Are you asking for yourself? How long has this been going on? Did anything occur beforehand that may be contributing to this pain?

While we can't diagnose anything, you may have something called peripheral neuropathy - Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the peripheral nerves. These are the nerves that connect your spinal cord to the rest of your body.

Many diseases and conditions can cause peripheral neuropathy. The damage may occur due to:

Malnutrition
Compression
Cancer
Trauma
Inflammation
Infection
Toxins
Medications
Hereditary syndromes
Unknown causes

Anon, you will need to see a doctor for an evaluation.
Best,
Susan
