Welcome to NeuroTalk....

I notice that you take metformin... Did any doctor test you for B12 levels? That drug commonly reduces B12 in the body, in about 40% of people.

When that happens PN pain develops. I'd get that run ASAP, and get your number result.. Do not accept "normal" since many lab ranges in US are very low and NOT normal. While you are there get a Vit D3 test run also. Chronic pain patients are often very low in D.
