Hello there Well you could be suffering from symtomatic paedal pitting oedema....from the discription which you gave. Now this pitting oedema is only a symptom and goes of when the cause is treated....however the parameters which you provided are pretty normal.also creatine levels are normal. Unexplained weight gain is most likely to be the cause of the pin and needle sensation due to stress on knees. I hope you have done thyroid tests. Get back to me with furthur details and past medical tests and medications if any. Regards.
