Hi there
Can anyone tell me what neuropathy pain feels like? I've been a type one for 18 years and had no problems other than battling with my weight and my hba1c! Just recently, in the last 12 months or so, I've noticed I get pains in my legs (mostly at night) which feels like a trapped nerve. I find if I dont put any weight on that leg the pain tends to not be too bad. What has made me post now is that I have started getting what feels like joint pain / trapped nerve pain in my fingers, hands and wrists and my shoulders. This began about 2 months ago and especially with the colder weather.
I don't take any pain killers for any of these pains cos I'd like to get to the bottom of this! My current medication is:
Novorapid 24 units x 3
Lantus 52 units x 1
Simvastatin 40 mg
Ramipril 2.5 mg
Omeprazole 20 mg
Probiotic tablet 10 billion (for wheat intolerance)
Citalopram 40 mg (taken for anxiety)
Obviously, I will go and see my GP (as much use as they are!) but I'd like some advice from you guys first, if you don't mind!
Thanks for reading
