What could be the reason for having sharp prick like pains in the palms of my hands and soles of my feet?
Patient: I am having sharp, prick-like pains in the palms of my hands and the soles of my feet (arches). The pain started a few months ago in my hands and was occasional. Now the pain is constant in both my hands and feet and occasionally in my arms and/or legs. Doctor: Hi,As your symptoms are constantly occuring, as for now I would like to ask your age and a few more other questions. Are you a strict vegetarian? Do you drink alcohol or have any thing like diabetes or hypertension (high bp)? I am asking this because it would help me in knowing or ruling out the exact or common causes of these complaints. As for now I would suggest you to get your sugar levels checked both fasting and post prandial. And would suggest you to take Vit B12 and Vit B6 containing tablets. Neurobion forte injection would help. If any reports from the above suggested ones are abnormal, we would go accordingly.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards, Dr. Mohammed Athar
