@soledad02: The reason I asked about Diabetes is because my Neuropathy began with occasional sharp pains in my big toes… I referred them to “bee stings”. After many years of these stabbing pains in toes, feet, ankles, calf’s, shins and now thighs I am convinced I have Diabetic Neuropathy. You can experience Neuropathy for a lot of medical malady. I think of the stabbing pains as when the nerves are dying- I have no medical training as you can tell. I have a drawer of creams, lotions, lidocaine patches, socks to apply at these times (usually when I am solitary or trying to get to sleep at night), but I am convinced there is no cure. I take Tylenol with longer pain bouts. Sometimes a heating pad gives relief… sometimes an ice bag.
I don’t know if my saga will help you or not. However, now you know that I do understand the pain involved in this situation. Best health to you…
