Topic: General Discussion / Nerve Dysfunction in feet.

Hello folks, not a regular here but, just wondering if anybody recognises the following problems. 45 years old now and T1for 38 years, suffered various diabetes related problems some caused by rebelious nature. After recent eye surgery (very unpleasent) I have managed to bring my poorly controlled diabetes into a more acceptable level. During this time the nerve dysfunction has become more noticeable (skin twisting sensation & burning) in both feet. My medication for this has continued for 12 months (Duloxatine) But I can feel this getting worse. Anybody noticed this happening during control stabilizing processes, any advice or recommendations other than aputation would be greatly received.
Many thanks, John.

Topic: General Discussion / Nerve Dysfunction in feet.

John, I had a period of burning and "pain" in both feet. I felt as if I had a very tight pair of socks on my feet. It was treated with anti convulsants and after a relatively short period of fairly good control it went away. I now have reduced sensation but it is not painful. I also recently had a compound dislocation of my R big toe and was terrified I would lose the toe but absolutely no bother. Healed quickly, no infection and all is well!

Good luck. Helen

I would go back to your GP and ask to see a neurologist who specializes in neuropathy for a option and may be your med regime needs to be changed,
