What Causes Extreme Pain And Burning Sensation In The Legs Of A Diabetic Patient?

I am a type 2 diabetic and suffering from extreme leg pain (above the knee). Feeling a burning sensation along with numbness & pins & needles. Sounds crazy but sometimes I can barely walk. I see my Dr. in Dec. for check up. Any recommendations regarding meds?

Hi,

Burning sensation in limbs of diabetic patients is called diabetic neuropathy. Using drugs like pregabalin, tramadol will be helpful. Local application of lignocaine and pregabalin will also be helpful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
