Diabetic Neuropathy Test
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

I had a nerve test done and it didn't show any damage. However my doctor said that the tiny fibers could be damaged and a nerve test would not show that. I have extreme pain in my legs. Some days I can't even walk without help. I'm frustrated because I know the pain I'm in but for it to not show up on the test. Has anyone else had this issue??? I'm on a very high doses of nurotin and pain meds

Are you on any statin drugs? I have been having leg pain too. My doctor said you should take CoQ10 if you are on statin drugs. I have pain meds, I take magnesium, vitamin d and calcium too.

Could it possibly be a side effect from your diabetic medication. Metformin can cause sever leg pain
