[QUOTE="Hopeful Alfie, post: 434814, member: 42051"] I have proximal neuropathy which has been developing over 10-12 years, although my Type 2 was not diagnosed until 5 years ago. I now have to use a walking stick and must pause every 100-200 yards to allow the built-up pain to go away before setting off again. The pain is worst in the buttock areas but goes down to the feet, the left leg being the most affected. My BG control is good with a varied diet only, and I am quite active although about a kilo overweight. My GP and I both feel that the condition is "here to stay", as medications have side effects and are not very efficient anyway. I take the occasional paracetamol for long walks and tell myself that it helps. However, the pain occurs only when I walk, and I have come to terms with the thought that it IS here to stay. Otherwise I am enjoying life and at 84 so glad to be still on the planet. [/QUOTE]
