I have that as well and my doctor toldr in 2010 that was fibroidmialgia. Mine can be so bad it wakes me up. Exercise can help with that. Good luck!

A neurologist will do an EMG study to check for nerve damage

Its neuropathy. Probably peripheral neuropathy. I've had it for 3 years

The tingling/pins and needles is still there. The bruised tenderness comes and goes. Sorry about the typos. Geesh!
