It's interesting that in order for a neuropathy to present itself it has to be symmetrical as suggested by your GP. I havn't heard this before.First off I had a deep tissue massage in my back, shoulders & neck to see if that would 'do something'. It was very relaxing but made no difference to these sensations.I then saw the GP ( a locum) last week about it. He did a full examination, made no mention of diabetes at all. He said my muscle function was normal, to take ibuprofen as an anti-inflammatory and said t would be gone in a week. Well the ibuprofen hasn't helped at all. I am of the mind that it is not neuropathy. I'm hoping it's a trapped nerve in my shoulder that will eventually go away. My wife, a nurse has since suggested it could be Carpal Tunnel Syndrome <a href="http://www.patient.co.uk/health/Carpal-Tunnel-Syndrome.htm" target="_blank">http://www.patient.co.uk/health/Carpal-Tunnel-Syndrome.htm</a> .I'll keep you posted. Hope you get a clear diagnosis soon</blockquote>
