I suggest that you see a neurologist and have an EMG test. That will tell you if you have neuropathy. The neurologist can prescribe medications for the pain. I is up to you to keep a steady blood sugar control with as few highs as possible. that is what I had to do to eliminate my neuropathy symptoms.
Thank you Richard for the info. I had a bad fall and fractured some of my facial bones. Until then, I did not have neuropathy. I was given bad advice by my doctor and family. They told me to rest until the fractures were healed.
I walked around some, but that was not enough. Now that my fractures have healed I have neuropathy big time. I can only walk or exercise for 15 minutes and then severe pain, numbness and tingling sets in.
After my Physical Therapy sessions, which were not started right away, I felt like my bones in my feet had broken. I can tell that my circulation is bad because of the blood at the bottom of my feet. The blood goes down but cannot go back up.
I do have a neurologist and I will ask him about the EMG test. Richard, did you go for more walks or exercise more? I do not want to be a couch or computer potato. I want to be able to do things.
