Nerve issue

2025-12-23 12:41:17
My dad ,67 yrs, diabetic and heart patient is unable to walk as he feels some severe sensation in his feet. He was operated  5 yrs ago for heart blockage and got pace maker inserted. Since then he is facing issues and is getting worst. Heart specialist in fortis confirmed it is not heart related and has something to do with nerves and muscles which are getting weak due to inactivity. We have seen good doctors in fortis however nothing improved. Can you please suggest the possible solution and which specialist to visit for this?

If the severe sensations he has are like a burning pain, it is likely due to diabetic neuropathy - are his blood sugars under control? What about his HBA1C levels? If it is diabetic neuropathy - he might need nerve conduction tests and a Neurologist to advice regarding medications. If the pain is like a squeezing pain in both legs especially on walking, and makes him stop for a while, it could be spinal problems which might need an MRI scan - if you wish to consult me in person, I would be happy to examine him and advice.
Next Steps
depending on the type of leg sensation, consider an in person consultation.
