Hello @kimmykat and @paul76, Welcome to Connect. You are not alone and I'm sure you will find a lot of encouragement here on Connect. It sounds like you may have neuropathy possibly caused by your diabetes condition. There is another discussion you might find helpful.

The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a couple of webinars that I think you will find helpful on their YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/@foundationforperipheralneu4122/).

Yes it’s from my type 2 diabetes- but I had a spasm in my left leg that tightened up and I was in the worst pain ever in the ER 3 years ago and my leg never released the nerves. So they are dead. Then before I had surgery on my back they offered me a shot in my back to try and alleviate the nerves- all it did was make my blood pressure spike which made my sugar spike and deadened my right leg. (Prednisone). My blood pressure has a lot to do with it. Yes I’m on Metformin and Gabepentin and hydrochlorithiazide for my diabetes. Dilthiazem for my blood pressure. I spike up and down daily. It’s a struggle.
