Message: <blockquote data-quote="TeddyTottie" data-source="post: 2359096" data-attributes="member: 519030">I suffered from restless legs for the 3 or 4 years before diagnosis, usually in the evening, sitting watching telly, and it was exacerbated by my legs being too warm.  I also suffered from an intense burning sensation in my thigh on the same leg.I put all of this down to sciatica which I felt was caused by a pinched nerve in my buttock.  However, I did some more research following diagnosis and found that the burning could also be a particular form of neuropathy.  I have to say, just over a year post-diagnosis, and following normalisation of my BG and substantial weight loss via LCHF, I find that both symptoms are more or less resolved.  So whether it was neuropathy caused by undiagnosed and uncontrolled diabetes or some sort of trapped nerve caused by obesity, I have no idea.  But it does seem to be possible to put it into abeyance.</blockquote>
