Go back to your doctor, and maybe take a print-out of what you've written above.

If he or she still won't help, you should certainly ask to see a different doctor.

You need a doctors appointment today. I believe that it is common for diabetics to suffer from anxiety and depression. If your doc doesn't know what's wrong then it would not seem unreasonable to ask for a hospital referral. There must be some way forward. Please, please, please seek some advice! Today!

Muscle pains and leg spasms can be caused by vitamin B12 deficiency, which GPs often forget to check. It might be an idea to ask your GP whether they are checking for this.

Hi,
please see your gp, not everything we get is diabetic related,
i have similar symptoms and have m.e and fibromyalgia, you definitely need to see someone asap, there are meds that do help for those symptoms

Don't forget if you can't get an appointment with your gp there are walk in centres.

Is there a diabetic clinic up at you nearest hospital?

 

[mo1905]

Please seek urgent medical attention straight away. If not your doc, go to A&E. There is clearly something going on in addition to your diabetes and you should not have to suffer like this. Please let us know how you get on.

Its only what i have read and don't want to give you false advice but statins can cause a lot of pain I stopped taking my statins because i had lots of stiffness and pain in my legs and they got a lot better.

Sorry that you're in such a bad way. Get your Vit B and Vit D checked out ASAP. These e Vits tend to be low in many diabetics but docs don't test for Also, what insulins are you on??? Not taking levemir or lantus by any chance as many diabetics cannot tolerate these 2 long lasting insulins but some consultants don't believe that this can be so. Look up lantus problems or tiredness with lantus on the forum. Fai;ing all this get a second opinion. Good Luck.

One reason I stopped statins after two months was that I had terrible pains in my legs - especially at night when in bed. Kept me wakened all night, and did not respond to pain killers. My doctor did a blood test to see if it was muscle inflammation, but no result as yet. Will let you know. Can't recall the name of the test (AK ?) but will find out! Will see if pains disappear now and let you know.
