Thank you for your response John. Yes, I have discuss my symptoms with several doctors as recent as this week. It is the new symptom of the deep itch and pain that I am struggling with. I am wondering if anyone else has this same issue. Thanks again for your response as well as the links.

@deeinpa did you ever get any answers to your itching symptoms? I am diabetic and have peripheral and autonomic neuropathy in my diagnoses. I had forgotten this until now but in the late ‘80’s early ‘90’s I had deep itching burning pain in my legs. I did not associate it with neuropathy at the time. It occurred in the summers and our family was participating in 10k walking events. I thought the itching was due to heat, humidity, perspiration, sun screen, bug spray, or Absorbine Junior I was using for muscle aches and pains. It would eventually pass and I’d forgotten about it. Another possibility, years later I was diagnosed with CKD (chronic kidney disease - another complication of diabetes). Many people with CKD also experience terrible itching. Mentor @johnbishop has provided some good informational links. You might want to also check out the kidney bladder group for discussions on there about itching.
