My pain started about 4 weeks ago. The pain feels like it goes from my buttocks down to my knee cap. Worse on groin side but not in groin. When I try to walk or move the front of my leg feels like my leg(above my knee)is going out of socket and the pain in my muscles is almost unbearable. It is almost impossible to walk at times. I am a diabetic and my levels ran in the 400's for a long time. Over the last 2 months I have got it under control. I take 2 metformin-500mg twice a day and amaryl-2mg a day. My foot does hurt sometimes. This is on my left leg. For the last 6 years the front of my upper right leg has been numb my doctor said don't worry about it. Said might be caused from pinched nerve but never tried to find out just ignored it. This is the same doctor that got mad when I asked for a meter to keep a check on my diabetes he said that I needed to read the Bible for help. He said this I am not lying. I do have a diabetes doctor for the last 3 years I am no longer with the bible pushing doctor. If my pain gets any worse I will be bed stuck staying in bed. Can you help?
I have been experiencing the same thing. Metformin almost crippled me. Then Glimipired did the same thing. They wanted me to start insulin. And then to my amazement my doctor suggested the paleo diet. I had hear do f it but I was trying to control with grains, vegan style but my body converts grain into fast sugar. So three days on the Paleo I through away all my medicine and lo and behold the horrible knee and thigh pain is gone. Try this. What are we killing ourselves taking medicine so we can eat grains and sugar and milk.
I no longer have diabetes.
