Numbness And Tingle On Hands. Taking Naproxin, Lisinopril For Diabetes. Is It Related?
I'm having a lot of trouble with both hands. What happens is my hands start to go numb, and tingle, while at the same time they hurt. I'm a type 2 diabetic, I take50mg Tramadol, I'm taking 500mg Naproxin, and for my diabetes, I takeLisinopril5mg for highblood pressure, and now back to my Diabetes, I takeNovolog flex pen10units 2 times a day, and for p.m I injectLantus Solostar25units. I am being seen at a clinic, that's where my primary physician is at. I don't have any medical insurance so my options are very limited

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Naproxen + tramadol both are most potent pain killers and tramadol is also a habit forming drug.
Lisinopril is a good anti hypertensive medicine, but you have not mentioned your blood pressure whether it is under control or not.
As for treatment of diabetes you are taking , but not mentioned duration oof disease.
As duration of diabetes is very important because the present symptoms may be due to DIABETIC NEUROPATHY or neuritis ( peripheral).
Numbness, tingling sensation and weakness and pain in both hands may be due to neuropathy .
So consult a DIABETOLOGIST and his opinion .
Try to get rid of tramadol and naproxen.
Good luck.
