Welcome, @lalan. Do you have type 2 diabetes? Has your pain been diagnosed as diabetes-induced neuropathy?

@Ialan, I too want to welcome you. I am diabetic. What type are you? Neuropathy can be a complication of diabetes (any type of diabetes). There are also many types of neuropathy. The kind that causes pain in your hands and feet is peripheral. I had that too. I was also prescribed gabapentin and it didn’t help me much either. What helped ease my pain was experimenting with temperature changes to the areas with pain, like warm water foot soaking &/or cold packs. You can alternate to find if either help you. Another thing that helped was gently massaging my feet and hands. Extend and flex your fingers and toes as best you can. If you have a loved one to help with this, that is even better. Most of all, if this is caused by diabetes you need to get to the root of the problem with by increasing blood sugar control. What kind of provider are you using for your diabetes care?

Actually it is my 45 yr old son with type 2 diabetes. Was close to death before he knew he had diabetes. He is doctoring with go at Health clinic. I think he should see someone at Mayo
