Diabetjc Neuropathy

Hi, T2 here.

I had diabetic neuropathy for six or seven years. Mine was very painful "burning feet" plus stabbing pain, and "pins and needles" tingle pain in feet. Got much worse at night, and sometimes the only way to relieve the worst of the burning pain was to get up and walk around for a couple of hours. Didn't affect mobility or anything like that. It contributed a lot to very poor sleep as well. Cleared up very quickly within a few weeks once I got my BGs back to normal levels, although I still have a bit of tingle which is probably permanent (five years later) but isn't really pain.

That doesn't sound to me to be the same as what you're describing.

This is what the NHS website says about neuropathy

I suffer with sciatica, not all the time, but if I over do it it returns. Mine is from bulging discs in my lumber region of my spine. It’s from pressure on my lumber nerve roots. It is a very particular pain, excruciating at times. The pain runs down from my lower back through my buttock down the back of my thigh to my knee, sometimes lower into my calf. It seems to only affect one leg or the other leg, never both at the same time. I would think Neuropathy would affect both legs, but I’m not a medical person, so give that the weight it deserves.
