Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query In a patient with long standing diabetes one of the common long term complication is peripheral neuropathy. This develops even when the blood glucose control is reasonably good. In case of badly controlled diabetes the problem becomes more severe. Since there is no mention of her blood glucose levels and HbA1c%, it is difficult to know if the condition is well controlled at all. There are some drugs used to treat neuropathic pain like pragabalin, gabapentine and some vitamin combinations. I did not understand what you mean by" Doctor sayi ng there is some problem from disc to vain in leg" Because whether the problem is due to neuropathy or blood supply affection leading to pain. This needs to be clarified. Has there been ultra sound or Doppler study done to see if the blood supply to the lower limbs is proper? Thanks.
