Default Is it possible to have a neuropathy and joint problem that occur at the same time

Thanks for your reply.

Has anyone with peripheral neuropathy had the following symptoms? Had problems mainly sensory for 6 months now. Had a real annoying flare up over the past 3 days. Here is what has been happening:

1) Wrist pain - a burning like a band around my wrist and sort of an ache that sometimes goes into my fingers but is almost constant, both sides but worse on the right. When I type it feels like carpal tunnel with me almost being able to feel the nerves going through the carpal tunnel.
2) Ankle pain - a burning like a band around my ankle and just above the ankle with the toes feeling like they are on fire even at rest, this can extend over the front of the foot into a sock like symptom and into the bottom of the foot, numbness, both sides but worse on the left - I can sometimes feel the ankle bones ache (These two symptoms make up 80-90% of my problem)
3) AC joint pain - deep burning or ache around the front, mainly right
4) Left hip pain - deep burning or ache which sometimes goes into the butt
5) When I walk I can get altered sensation in the bottom of the foot always in the front and never in the heel. Particularly noticeable when I try to run.

Had 3 x comprehensive lots of blood tests - nothing was elevated, entirely normal including rheumatoid markers. These were done as recently as two weeks ago the last set.
Nerve conduction test normal - neurologist puts it down to a post viral polyneuropathy.
First Lyme test was inconclusive awaiting on 2nd result but ANA was normal on ordinary bloods.
No swelling, no redness, no loss of function - appears only to be sensory. I take B12 supplements 1000mg every day

I am so frustrated any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
