[QUOTE="Frenchfancyxoxo, post: 1978190, member: 499301"] Hello, The all that had wrote on my post. I had my appointment with the diabetic specialist, she is positive that the pain I have has nothing to do with my Diabetes, which is a good sign, however, she strongly believes it is to do with a disc bulge I have in my back. I felt positive and quite hopeful that after speaking with my work occupational therapist and getting some tips on how to relieve the pain that I would be seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. However, I returned back to my usual GP on Tuesday, she doesn't think it is to do with my back. she doesn't believe that my back is causing the leg pain and she basically told me to just wait for the appointment I get through for my follow up with the neurologist. I mentioned that the OT recommended acupuncture and although she doesn't believe that it is anything to do with my back, she said acupuncture is a good idea and she "backs me up" on that. I felt incredibly sad and deflated leaving there. After reflecting on my appointment I realised that the way my GP said certain things and also hoe defensive she got when I told her it was to do with my back, is because I think she may have missed this all along. My original MRI/CT scan showed a minor disc bulge, however this was back in August last year and I haven't had a scan since. I believe and so does the GP at the other surgery that it is to do with my back, she also lifted my legs and did a small prick test on my lower back. MY GP however, didn't do anything. Basically said to just keep going with the investigation. So I am still in pain everyday, its excrutiating. I have no pain meds that were given to me to cope and I am praying that acupuncture really does help when I go next week! thanks again for all the love and will keep you guys informed. Dr also told me it wouldn't be my potassium levels as my Kidneys have been well and truly tested lol. xx [/QUOTE]
