Guest guest Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I hesitate to chime in here because this might not be relevant to everyone. But I need to get some input somewhere. Is this what this letter is talking about? Well, for 6 months I have had pain my my shoulder, and it has sometimes gone down my arm and even into myfingers, sometime pain sometimes a weird sensation like when you drink too much coffee. it was just a day or two ago that someone looked it up for me and sait it might be a pinched nerve, and something that diabetics get. okay now is there anyone else who has or knows about this pain? I didn't thik I had neuropathy but maybe I do. does it sound like what they are talking about in 's post? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Diabetes can and does effect the nerves. Especially when the person has had diabetes for many years. Any way you can get your doc to check things out?

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Vicky, This does not sound like neuropathic pain. It sounds more like you are having a nerve pinched in either your shoulder or neck. Ask your doc to send you to an orthopedic doc who specializes in that kind of pain. Often some rehab exercises can alleviate that kind of pain. _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Vicki Meizinger Sent: Saturday, June 09, 2012 7:31 AM To: blind-diabetics Subject: Re: finding the cure for neuropathic pain I hesitate to chime in here because this might not be relevant to everyone.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Hi, I would hazard a guess that it is some sort of nerve problem. You could also give a chiropractor a shot. Starting at the shoulder does give me a hint.
