[QUOTE="Geordie_P, post: 1558362, member: 343949"] It doesn't sound like 'typical' neuropathy- hopefully it's a lesser complaint, or something exacerbated by blood-sugars that you can get under control. I had quite severe neuropathy in my feet and fingers, with some completely numb toes (I could have pushed a drawing pin in and felt nothing!) but then lots of pain in the balls of my feet, and peroneal tendon issues. I also had permanent pins and needles in my right thumb, and tendonitis in both elbows. But after being diagnosed and sorting my sugars out, it faded a lot. Mine was related to very high sugars and hyperlipidemia, so that is probably quite different to your case, but Dr Richard K Bernstein maintains (with a focus on T1) that keeping BG low enough allows nerves to slowly recover, and that was borne out in my case. Hope some of that helps, and in any event, good luck with your xray! [/QUOTE]
