Hello,
Your symptoms are consistant with mild peripheral neuropathy. And the most common cause of this is diabetes. After diabetes, nutritional deficiency is the most common cause of this. Also diabetes has to be present for several years and poorly controlled to cause this. It does not seem you are diabetic, so most likely cause in your case is nutritional deficiency, specifically Vitamin B12 deficiency. Another possibility is a pinched nerve probably triggered by any particular posture.
I recommend that you tka daily multivitamins including calcium. If the symptoms persist beyond 2-3 weeks after this, you should see a doctor for some routine blood tests and to check reflexes and sensations in the feet.
Regards.
Dr. Gupta
