2. I often wake up in the morning and my feet burn and then usually it worsens when I put my shoes on but eventually dissipates at the office (is it possible heat is causing it?).

3. Today I was in a meeting and I got this very distinct stabbing feeling behind my left knee. It would happen like every 20-30 seconds for about 10 minutes and then stopped all together.

My symptoms have always been sporadic so I never know if they are neuropathy related or just some other occurrence - opinions would be greatly appreciated.
The symptoms sound like Neuropathy, two or three quick-fire questions. Are you diabetic? Are you post Chemotherapy? Did you make a living up to your elbows in cleaning solvents, paint strippers, toxins? These are just a few of the usual suspects. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.
