What Causes Extreme Pain In Feet, Arms And Legs In Condition Like Type 2 Diabetes
I have several symptoms. First I have type 2 diabetes. I have extreme pain in my feet, arms legs. My muscles tend to tighten up. Charlie horse type feelings. Shooting pain in my back and neck. I'm beginning to forget words in the middle of my sentences. I have no control over my bladder. Ever time I have to use the bathroom it is an emergency. I think that is all.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If your diabetes is longstanding and there is a history of poor control, it is possible that some of your symptoms may be related to the effect of diabetes on the nerves.
Diabetic nerve disease can be associated with abnormal bladder or bowel function as well as pain.
There are medications that can help to reduce these symptoms.
Your doctor can examine you and may also consider blood tests checking for other causes such vitamin deficiency, liver or kidney disease.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
