• Vitamin B12 deficiency

• Autoimmune conditions

Key Symptoms:

• Burning or electric-like pain

• Pins-and-needles sensation

• Numbness or muscle weakness

• Pain triggered by touch

• Worsens at night or with activity

Treatment Options:

• Medications: Gabapentin, pregabalin, antidepressants

• Topical creams: Lidocaine, capsaicin

• Physical therapy: Strengthens muscles and reduces stiffness

• Lifestyle changes: Healthy diet, stress management, regular exercise
