How Can Severe Pain In The Legs Due To Diabetic Neuropathy Be Treated?
I have type 2 diabetes and my sugars run in the upper 200 s and I have had this pain in my left legs which feels like frostbite. Sometimes it feels like a rubber band tightening on my leg. I have had this pain for two years and all the dr. say I have is neuropathy. My leg feels like a brick dragging. Please help me because I can t take this pain anymore. I need a specialist.

Hi,
You can take analgesics like Gabapentin or Tramadol for pain relief.
If symptoms persist it is better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
