[QUOTE="ManUtdGal!, post: 2425226, member: 103721"] I’ve been Type 1 for 50 years almost. I have suffered from Neuropathy for years causing numbness in both feet plus tenderness on my lower legs with any pressure applied. I had a fall several weeks ago but had my right foot x-rayed to check for fractures as it’s been agony and swelling every day. It was clear. I also have pain and a smaller amount of swelling in my left foot. I had open heart surgery in March and veins were taken from my left leg so wondered if that might be why it’s not as bad as my right foot. The pain is awful and is constantly there 24/7. I rang my GP and he saw me today. He thinks it’s my Neuropathy and has given me Pregabalin to take. But I have never had pain with my Neuropathy before and wondered if that’s just a convenient reason. Have any other long term type 1 Diabetics ever suffered with this? Why would I suddenly get pain if I’ve only ever had numbness? It feels like I’m being hit with a hammer and also getting sharp shooting pains in my ankle. Thank you x [/QUOTE]
