I am sorry this is going to be along post, I am just begging please for some response or advice on where to go what to ask for.
My husband has been type 2 for 15 years, totally out of control
he is never under 10.6 and the last blood test his HBC was 120
now he hasnt heeded the warning signs at all he hasnt been able to get an erection for over 8 years, even with viagra.
he has also had something wrong with his eyes related to high blood sugar
the passed 4 years he has complained of calf pain when walking
last year he developed a pain near his shoulder blade he was convinced he had been stung, which he hadnt but the sensation spread round to his chest and he was put on amitriptyline.
This March for no reason he developed a pain in his leg muscle at the top he said it felt like a strain he had done nothing to course this
but the pain spread into his back and down his leg and he convinced himself he had sciatica
BUT and heres the but since March and even being on tramadol the pain is worse its in his groin and all the way down the front of his legs to the point he cant bear anyone to even touch his legs
he also falls because his leg gives way in April he could go up stairs with ease now he cant climb the stairs, the pain wakes him at night and he spends most of the day laying around in pain.
he is on morphine patches
no one seems to be listening to me he hasnt been referred anywhere and even a walk around the supermarket is getting to much for him
also in 2 months he has lost over 3 stone in weight while you may say thats great it isnt when you are eating packs of doughnuts and belgian buns and consuming 4 cans of fizzy drinks aday
he is not eating normal food stuff as he says he has gone off food
so from March my husband has gone from a relatively fit 67 year old to being less mobile than my 87 year old uncle
I need answers, I need to know if this is just going to continue to get worse to the point he wont be able to walk or will it get better
who do i ask my GP to refer him to as my GP just says oh its muscles pain
