I've been feeling this weird pin prick sensation on the sole of my foot whenever I walk or put pressure on my toe. It's not like a bunch of needles, just feels like one sharp point. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

Although it is unlikely that these are symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, it is advisable to have your blood sugar values tested for confirmation. It is best to consult a Dermatologist for further evaluation.

My wife's been having this pain in her left hand veins, and her thumbs have been itching for the past three days. I initially thought it might just go away on its own, but the pain hasn't improved. She did plant a tree three days ago, so I'm wondering if it could be an infection from the soil or something related to the plant. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?

, based upon the clinical symptoms there might be development of phlebitis, i.e inflammation of the veins due to some thorn prick. Apply warm compresses. If symptoms aggravates kindly consult ur surgeon...
