Nerve damage - fire ants in legs.

[Zuzu798]

My latest in my list of complaints: I went to the Specialist to get injected in my hips for severe joint pain. A week after that I started with the feeling of Fire ants on the front of my legs. After emailing the Specialist he has confirmed that it was "not caused by his injections" and rather neuropathy in my legs. Furthermore Diabetic neuropathy. Besides my BD I am suffering from Diabetes type 2. However I am medicated. I am on Glucophage 500XR Morning & Night. I check my levels, it's always perfect. Now the hard part. The damage is irreversible, so I have to take Opiuds (I won't) All the medication we get given to treat BD helps with neurons & Neuropathy pathways. Is there any alternative medicine or advice? Has anyone had this side effect with BD and Diabetes? Thank you

Remicade infusions should take away most spine & joint pain. I endured numerous cortisone epidural injections. Once I began remicade I was 90% better

I took vicodin 180 pills a month for 5 years. Weaned off earlier this year because it was contributing to a depression that was making it more difficult to cope with having this disease. Medical marijuana helped disconnect from the pain. Tens unit helped with lower back and sacroiluac joint pain too. Hoping better days for you in near future
