Anybody else have these weird symptoms?

I have a couple more symptoms that may or may not be related:
About 5 years ago, I noticed that my left foot started getting swollen on long drives - I loosened the shoelace or took off the shoe and it was fine. Actually it didn't even look very swollen, just that the shoelace felt tight. As I rarely made long drives, and there was an easy fix, I didn't think anything of it.
Since my neuro issues started a year ago, especially in the last 6 months, I've noticed that my left foot has these symptoms more often, and not just when I'm driving.
My left foot is where the pins & needles and neuropathy started, and it (and now my right hand) has the strongest symptoms.
Also, I've had hot flashes since menopause started, although I haven't had a period in 8 years. I know that this can be normal for some people, but google shows that feelings of heat and cold can also be symptoms of neuro issues.
Does anyone else have similar symptoms?

Hi, I was diagnosed with MGUS 18 months ago. The neuropathy in my feet, I was told, related to lower disc replacement. It has now gone to my hands and arms. I have been experiencing severe night sweats for years. Recently I have begun having hot flashes. Like yourself, no menstral cycles in 8 years. I don't know what the sweating is about, or what it is related to. It seems I have to fight for care, and I am here and other places searching for answers. I have a new haematologist appointment soon. I am hoping that it will result in answers to my questions about symptoms, and referrals, to a neurologist and rheumatoid doctor so that I can begin treatment for these problems. Glad to be here! I am trying to educate myself, learn from others experiences, and hoping to begin treatment for these problems, before they become worse. Best wishes! 🙂

@leeisme do you have varicose veins in your left leg?
If so, that could be the cause of your swollen foot.
