I have Diabetic Neuropathy pain in my feet and sometimes the pain makes it that I can hardly walk as the pain is?

I have Diabetic Neuropathy pain in my feet and sometimes the pain makes it that I can hardly walk as the pain is so bad. I watch my sugar and take medicine as I"m a light diabetic. The pain seems to be getting more intense as the weeks go on.

The other day I took a walk as it wasn't so bad when I started. I walked maybe 1/2 mile and on the way back it got so intense I was starting to wonder if I was going to make it back. I was ready to flag down a car because it was so bad.

I take gabapentin but it doesn't seem like its working anymore. I do have a serious back injury also. What can I take that will help be deal with this horrible pain as I can't do anything!

If somebody said for me to stand on my head for 24 hours I would do it. Asked by 67pontiacgtowacg 30 months ago Similar Questions: Diabetic Neuropathy pain feet makes walk Recent Questions About: Diabetic Neuropathy pain feet makes walk Health > Medicine.

My friend: I too am going through the same thing. But unlike you I can not walk more than a half a block before I am in so much pain, I can't walk at all. I was in the hospital 4 weeks ago they ran every test known to man, and could not come up with a solution.

I had a Vascular surgeon, Neurologist, foot doctor, and a diabetic doctor look at them. They were all stomped with the pain in the ankles and across the top of the feet. The Diabetes doctor said that part of it was Enumerator, but the pain in the ankles and top of the foot wasn't.

I have to see a doctor today, he suppose to give me some kind of pain medicine for it. When they released me from the hospital the gave me Peracet, but that you can't take all the time. It kills the pain and makes you sleepy.

I advise you to go back to your doctor and tell him what you are now taking isn't working any more and you need something else, perhaps something more stronger. I am not able to work because of it. If you find a answer please let me know, I will do the same if I receive something that works.

I'm so sorry..... believe me I understand...I have suffered with this for several years now and it is difficult to deal with. The pain was so bad that they had me on multiple STRONG pain meds....but it doesn't help to be painfree at the expense of being looped all of the time. I finally had to choose between the pain and being coherent.

I now take OTC pain meds such as Percogesic, or just take a deep breath and bear it, neither one is easy....and I can't fly anymore without an airplane, but hey, you have to do what you have to do.......if you choose to take OTC meds check with your Doctor as some of them are VERY bad on your kidneys which starts off a whole new set of problems. Good Luck and God bless....

Maybe it's not diabetic neuopathy... As I understand it, diabetic neuopathy developes from long term uncontrolled sugar. My mom has this, her sugar has ranged from 180 to over 300 for several years now, never under any control, but taking diabetes meds. If your sugar is under control, I would think to look for another explaination for the pain, like fibro myalgia, or pinched nerve since you did say you have back injury, or something else.

I am not a doctor and have never been to medical school, so if your doctor says it is neuopathy, then he is probably right. Anyhow, that being said, there are several over the counter creams and soaks for the feet in the diabetic section of most pharmacies. I can not attest to how well they work, though, but I don't see how they could hurt.

Also, I believe there are prescription creams to help with the pain, and your doctor can prescribe some special socks (most insurance will not pay for these socks though). Maybe a visit to the podiatrist couldn't hurt either? Check out this webpage: diabetes.webmd.com/features/nerve-pain-t..." rel="nofollow">diabetes.webmd.com/features/nerve-pain-t... I think there should be loads of helpful advice to combat or at least help to reduce some of your pain.

You really seem to be suffering While we are not MDs here, I am wondering if you are attributing the pain to the wrong cause - it could well be that your back injury is now contributing to your neuropathy and/or your pain. I would get to a doctor and talk this out - perhaps physical therapy or pain management might also be in order. All the very best.

1 Cymbalta is one prescription med for exactly your condition and there are others. Have a doctor prescribe something that will ease the pain and not interfere with your walking. The walking will help you if you can stick with it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
