Hi.
Cause: Diabetes can cause muscle infarction in rare condition with no history of trauma and occur in the patients with a long history of poorly controlled diabetes. The clinical presentation is an acute onset of pain and swelling over days to weeks in the affected muscle groups (usually the thigh or calf) along with varying degrees of tenderness.
Treatment: Can be treated with rest and analgesia. Routine daily activities are not deleterious to the condition, but physical therapy may cause exacerbation. Diabetic muscle infarction tends to resolve over a period of weeks to months in most cases.
At last consult your doctor for the regular treatment and control of diabetes mellitus
Take Care and get well soon.
