Possible neuropathy: Depending on the affected nerves, symptoms of neuropathy can range anywhere from a numbness and tingling sensation, possibly a burning sensation, to an uncomfortable painful sensation of the extremities. For some people, these symptoms are mild; for others, neuropathy can be painful and disabling. Get her evaluated by a professional to determine the exact cause.
