Diabetic, Sugar Under Control, Severe Neuropathic Pain. Solution?
Hello, I am diabetic and have brought my sugar under control. My neuropathy pain has worsened unfortunately. I read online the a neuromuscular neurologist might be able to help me bring my pain under control. Please help me. I am a professional musician and concert season is approaching. My rehearsals have already begun, and sometimes the pain comes at the wrong time. I need help with this. Thanks My name is Rose.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Of course, you should see a Neurologist
Get yourself examined
Investigations - like Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction studies - will be necessary
Anti-depressant drugs of SSRI or SNRI class / anti-epileptic drugs like gabapentin – elevate the threshold of pain perception and are useful irrespective of the cause of pain.
Take care
Wishing all well
God bless
Good luck
