Painful neuropathy Tips?

Hello!

I have type 2 diabetes for 7 years.Metformin volume.

A year ago I started with pain and loss of sensitivity in the fingers of my feet.

Now it affects my legs.There are moments that become unbearable.

The doctor prescribed me antioxidants but did not improve.Glycosylated hemoglobin has been very good: 6 for several years.

What could you do?

Thank you!

That is (almost) impossible to be diabetic neuropathy.
Do you have a diagnosis of that "diabetic neuropathy" or is it yours?

This is what my diabetologist calls him.Why do you say that it is almost impossible for the pain I feel has origin in diabetes?Thanks for commenting.

Because you have spent a few years with diabetes and your hemoglobin is quite good.

Diabetologist always looks at the analysis and says very well!But discomfort and pain are increasing.What can be the origin of pain and lack of sensitivity?

@Ana Cou

You could have a pinched nerve on the back.I had a similar problem for a long time and it was in the back.In my case I fix it at the end a good chiropractic!

But start by going to a traumatologist and tell what you have.Tb could be useful a neurologic.If in the end you remain the same you can try the chiropractic or an osteopata (it is what works my wife).

But empiro to go to the "classic doctors" to see what they tell you.

All the best

Thank you very much Jldiazdel.I will follow your advice to see what happens.Thank you too Mamamarvazq!

@ANA COU POINT FOR THE Rheumatologist too.
It looks more about that.I have to go for some similar symptoms of another already identified ailment and they told me that nothing of traumatologist or neurologist or hematologist, that it was the rheumatologist who carried these issues.

Thank you very much Ruth!I will see where the path of searching for a solution begins.For now I am better with a diet almost without carbohydrates.

Diabetic neuropathy is diagnosed by the electrostimulation test of the nervous system, tests consisting of different electrical discharges are performed and check the response of the nerves (more or less it is like that) I have it, the test has shown it, I lose sensitivity inThe hands, there are times pain, sensation of cold, ramp and others as if they burned, no traumatologist, first neurologist if he discards then if it could be a traumatology thing, such as cervical,

Suspend metformin for a while, metformin creates long -term neuropathy because it prevents the absorption of nerve bioconductivity of vitamin B12, take complex supplements of complex B, especially B12, and alphalipoic acid ... Take a radiograph of the column andTake it to a doctor to verify if there is compression in lumbar vertebrae ... and if the pain is strong, the gabapentina can help you.

@Angel007 "Leaving the medication", I understand what will be after consulting with a doctor, right?

I find it very strong that such an action is suggested by the forum ... We have to be very prudent with the advice we give, especially when they affect the treatment of a person, in these cases, I recommend that I consult the doctorthat leads to the person, and if applicable, change the treatment.

Don't you think it's better like that?

@Fer totally agree, it must be your doctor who decides that antidiabetic is the most appropriate and of course any medication under the corresponding optional prescription.

@Angel007

That's very good.But that is not what @Fer told you

You cannot recommend a person with diabetes that leave your medication and take vitamins!You can tell him to speak with his doctor because that mediation interferes with the B12.That is useful.I think it's easy to understand!

Doctors inform you of the side effects of medication that prescribe you.

Anything with opioids, in the Simi or those of savings they sell them without a recipe ... that serves at night, luck!

Tramadol or those ...
