Hello doc...
My mother is 50 years old. She is undergoing medication for diabetes (type 2) since 6 years.
She has arthritis but not under any medication.
Her chief complaint is sharp pain that runs down from waist to leg since few days...she has also shown many doctors before but got no good results.
Kindly advice me.
Hello mam. Nerve pain can have many causes, especially in a diabetic patient. A proper and detailed evaluation is necessary to find out the correct cause and best possible treatment. Previous prescriptions and test results will be helpful.
