What Can Ease Pain In Leg And Butt Cheeks In Type 1 Diabetic?
Hi. I have had pains all down my legs and butt cheeks for over 2 weeks now. It an aching pain sought of feels like pins and needles. Sore to touch almost like the feeling when you push on a bruise. Im a type 1 diabetic but my sugar levels seem to be good. Im losing sleep and no over the counter pain killers are even easing the pain. What could this be and hpw do I stop the pain.

Hi,
It's due to diabetic neuropathy. Nerves/muscles get weakened due to diabetes-leading to the complaint.
Take vitamin B1-B6-B12 in injectable form twice a week,
- take vitamin D supplements, Calcium also needs to be taken.
- confirm blood sugar in normal limits.
-have daily walk for 45 minutes /day.
Thanks.
