[/INST] Your symptoms are suggestive of peripheral neuropathy. Generalised neuropathy should be tested for diabetes, hereditary disorders, inflammatory infections, autoimmune diseases, protein abnormalities, exposure to toxic chemicals (toxic neuropathy), poor nutrition or vitamin deficiency, kidney failure, chronic alcoholism, and certain medications. Kindly check your blood sugar levels. Vitamin b12 injection can be administered. Chat Doctor. Hope that was helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards </s>
