Are Burning Sensation In The Feet And Nerve Firing Signs Of Nerve Damage?

I have stage 3 a kidney disease, a history of hypertension, which is currently controlled to borderline, and high cholesterol. I take 10mg SimvastTin, 2.5mg Bendroflumethiazide only as I have an intolerance for other BP drugs. More recently I have developed burning sensation of soles of feet at evening and night, tingling sensation down one arm in the main, and nerves firing in lower limbs in evenings and night. I am aware it may be signs of nerve damage? What do you think. Otherwise, I look very fit for my age which is 63, am still working and very active.

Neurologist,  's  Response
Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

Your symptoms could be related to peripheral neuropathy. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful physical examination and a nerve conduction study.
Further blood lab tests may be needed to investigate for the possible causes : complete blood count, blood electrolytes, thyroid hormone levels, HbA1C levels, kidney and liver function tests, vitamin B 12 plasma levels, PCR, sedimentation rate.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
