Suggest Treatment For Twinging Pain On The Upper Back With Diabetes

I have some twinge like pains in my upper back. Like a pinched nerve but they are shorter pains that come and go. It almost feels like pins and needles but worse. Of course working with my shoulders and arms aggravates it, but I have Type 1 diabetes and am wondering if it may be a symptom of nerve damage.

Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you there are having probably diabetic neuropathy. Neurotrophic agents such as Mecobalamine are of help. You should control your diabetes well. For pain relief you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen. Vitamin D3 level should be tested as it is important cause of back pain. If found low it can be supplemented.Vitamin B and C with be helpful in recovery. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered.
