[QUOTE="jwilki, post: 181793, member: 23223"] Hi All I am finally back on the forum after some time away, no excuse. :oops: I posted a long time ago about suffering with Proximal Neuropathy and how painful it can be. I have suffered from this for a very long time. My HbA1c is now 4% and bloods average 5.4 and I have very good control. But this was not always the case, and this is what caused the problem in the first place. :( Unfortunately I now have to use a frame to walk and hand controls in my car to drive as the muscles are very weak in my thighs / legs and hips, I also have loss of sensation in my lower limbs. Pain is manageable by taking Tremadol, prescribed, a very strong pain killer. I always look on the bright side of life and my cup is always half full. :D :D The neurologist here is doing more tests as my nerves were bad but now after the latest EMG have improved, but this has taken in excess of one year and he is looking at recovery over a period of three to five years. Once you have this it CAN take a long time to repair but the good is with correct control it seems it will. [/QUOTE]
