What Causes Pain In The Legs And Arms While Suffering From Diabetes?
I am a 56 year old female and living with diabetics for 15 years. I am experiencing stinging feeling on my legs, hips and arms. I also have these electric zapps in my stomach. I did an MRI and the results were said to be unremarkable. What is causing this and is there any cure.

Hello,
It may be due to diabetic nephropathy or hypothyroidism or vitamin B12 deficiency or anxiety or depression. First, control your sugar levels check thyroid status, avoid sweets and fatty food.
If symptoms not improved, please consult your neuro physician, he/she will do nerve conduction study and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
