My father is 64. he suffers from "burning & pins n needles" from his knee down that is unbearable. he has high bp. what could this be?

Pins and needles: Because of his high blood pressure one has to consider the possibility of peripheral artery disease caused by arteriosclerosis. Another consideration would be reynauds disease. You may want to visit with a vascular surgeon.
