[QUOTE="oldgreymare, post: 638314, member: 20373"] Hi [USER=87476]@steree[/USER] statins (used to lower LDL cholesterol levels) can cause lasting muscle pain as a side effect in some individuals. I believe restless leg syndrome (usually obvious at night) can be made worse by high blood sugar. Similarly, chronic high blood sugars are associated with increased inflammation and this may be the reason why diabetics are prone to frozen shoulder whereby the connective tissue becomes thickened limiting movement and causing considerable pain. Do you have any numbness or tingling in hands or feet? This can a sign of peripheral neuropathy - a very common complication in diabetes. If your blood sugars levels and HbAc1 are still a bit high, then tightening your control some more may relieve some of your symptoms. But these symptoms may also be due to other non diabetes-related issues - good idea to ask your GP to make a referral to a spine/neuro specialist to rule out slipped discs,hernias, etc. [/QUOTE]
