I had in one leg first, the it pretty much went away for about a year.. Then it came back horribly in my other leg and hip. I literally fell out of bed and crawled to toilet whilst hubby got ambulance. I told A&E I would rather die than live with amputation I was that much in pain.
Nowadays it constantly aches with a dullness but as if both legs muscles are shrinking and pulling all the time at top of legs. Hurting most if I sit down, and at night.
It is meant to go, but I have really good control for T1 except when my pump causes me ****!! I never had bad control either, been T1 almost 30 years.
I just accept as nothing takes away pain, drugs send me off my head and better trying to manage myself by doing what I can. If it goes.. Great, but in meantime I'd rather have my brain working and knowing I'm alive by feeling the pain than have my brain addled through drugs.
I did think it was statin damage, not totally convinced that it isn't as it only started after I took them, but the official diagnosis was diabetic amyotrophy.
