PeripheralNeuropathy: You might be describing peripheral neuropathy which is nerve damage (http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/peripheral-neuropathy/ds00131). Poorly controlled diabetes is a common cause as is vitamin deficiency. Talk to you family doc about a complete evaluation so that you can then discuss appropriate treatment options.
