Venous insufficiency: 54 yo with nightly "swollen feet with pins & needles feeling" might have incompetent leg vein valves leading to elevated leg hydrostatic pressure by end of day upright; manifesting as edema. Stretched soft tissues commonly elicit parasthesia-like sensations. A true peripheral neuropathy would be constant, absent swelling & more intense upright & bearing weight.
