Diabetic. Losing Weight. Pain In Groin Area And Legs. Nauseated. Suggestions?
yes, I am 52 with diabetes and for the last six months I have lost almost 100 lbs with general pain esp in my groin area which feels like pins and needles. My legs hurt every night and I constantly walk the floor it feels like my circulation is bad at times I am nauseated with no vomiting at first it was thought that I had a GI issues but my test are all within normal limits any suggestions
I feel you need stricter control of your blood sugar ,getting a Glycosolated Haemoglobin test will help check the control over the past 3 months.A test for lumbosacral nerve root compression (by a MRI scan) and nerve conduction tests will help find the cause of the groin and leg pain.Diabetic neuropathy also needs to be evaluated.Ruling out any renal disease as well as GERD may be required.Your PCP will be able to examine you and guide you further.
