Dear Sir,
Thanx for Asking.
Before I further Comment, Can I know a little more
1) How Long have you been having Diabetes ?
2) Is your Diabetes under control ? ( What are your latest Reading and HBA1C)
3) Have you ever got any Nerve related test done ? Like Biothesiometry or Nerve function testing
The Pain can be due to many reasons ,
From a Diabetologist's Perspective
This can be
Neuropathic Pain - The Usually Features of Diabetic neuropathic Pain are the Following
Diabetes most of the time intitally affects the nerves in your feet and fingers (Simply put )
1) Burning sensation in the feet
2) Pain in the Feet and legs
3)
tingling sensation in the Finger and toe tips
But it is not uncommon to see Truncal Problems . In some patients we see some thing called as Truncal
Mononeuropathy - Which is characterized by Complaints of burning, stabbing or deep aching pain in a particular area of the trunk. This is usually common in those whose age is > 50 years and is due to
uncontrolled diabetes Solution : If this is the Case you have to do the following things
1) Strict Blood Sugar control
2) Neurovitamin ( Like Tab Nerve Up/Neurobione forte or
Renerve 3) Neuropathic Pain medication ( Tab Lyrica 75 mg or Tab Pregastar or Tab Dulane etc... Provided you are not allergic to this
From Orthopaedic Point of view - Its Good to Rule out
Cervical Spondylosis and any Disc or
Nerve root problems .Its better to consult a orthopadecian and an MRI spine would be helpful if advised , since especially you say the pain aggravates when you bend over to pick some thing ...
Hope this Helps
Regards
Dr.Samuel
