What Causes Severe Pain In The Body While Suffering From Diabetes?
I am a type 1 diabetic for 55 years. For a while I have had chronic electric pain all over my body, even my face, it stings and feels hot, it gets worse if I do anything physical. I also have a bulging disk and pinched nerves in my spine. I am 60 years old

Hi.
Sorry to hear that you are in a lot of pain. With long standing diabetes, comes the complication of neuropathy, which might explain why you are having those symptoms. Please consult a neurologist / diabetologist for the same. It would be helpful to have methylcobalamin vitamin B12 supplements which are essential for good nerve health.
