Answer 1

Are you diabetic? If so, I would say that you may be experiencing some neuropathy. If that's the case, you're going to have to control your blood sugar better. Read this:

For type I and type II diabetics (and those who are overweight and could potentially become diabetic). Copy and bookmark the webpages I‘ve listed below… they are invaluable for those with diabetes and/or weight problems...

I've found a wonderful book that will help you control your diabetes and minimize or even eliminate the complications. Some folks who became diabetic due to poor diet and obesity are effectively cured by following the advice in this book. I'm a type II (inherited), but it helps all types, especially those who became diabetic due to poor eating habits. It's by an author who has really done his homework, Patrick Quillin, Phd. It's called, "The Diabetes Improvement Program". I have tried his suggestions and found them to be very helpful. I have no complications whatsoever and my blood sugar levels are quite stable. Yes, I still have to take Metformin (Glucophage) daily, but it's the minimum dosage (500mg) and I only have to take it twice a day. I have been off Metformin for as much as a week, but this was with vigorous exercise. Many, what I call, non-hereditary type IIs (those that don't have a close relative who had it) have gotten off medication completely, just with diet, exercise, and supplements. So, in some instances, it most certainly can be 'effectively' cured. Read more about it here:

The book explains what's going on in our system and what to do about it. It's really easy and inexpensive. It's basically diet, supplements, and exercise. For example, did you know that cinnamon helps blood sugar absorption? It also controls cholesterol and triglycerides. This is according to the USDA:

For men: Are you suffering from erectile dysfunction? I was. Yes, WAS. Now that everything's under control, I'm able to have nearly normal sex again. I've also put together a little webpage highlighting some of the things I've learned here:

Answer 2

I have neuropathy in both my arms & legs. For my arms I have a hot wax bath and oh man that is the very best! I have also started useing a stress ball and just sweege it all the time I keep many different ones all over the place and one even in my purse.
For my legs I keep them moving all the time just bending your toes & knens will help alot and always keep them warm, clean & lotioned. I also will use the hot wax bath on my feet I wish I could just pour the whole tub of it on my legs (maybe I will try it any way)
Keeping you BS normal will help too but after you have it you got it and will suffer with it. Sorry!
Good Luck

Answer 3

How extreme is the pain? 0-10? If it is more than 5 and constant you should probably go see a doctor. It could be a number of things, all of which should be treated. Also, think about when it started and if there is anything that you can relate to it starting (ie exercise).

Good luck!

Answer 4

You probably don't have hyper/hypo-glycemia that indicates diabetes, but you have other serious problems. First you are in acute Calcium defficiency and crystalizing cholesterol in your wrists. I suggest you take High Calcium Powder of TIENS, once daily and Antilipemic Tea of TIENS. They are Chinese herbs nutritions as health care and food supplements. 95% natural and completely harmless! They are proven to be really effective for natural healing, in my experiences. It may takes 7 days to be naturally and completely healed. Don't fully trust on chemically medicine, because of its long-term side effects. May God Bless Your Efforts!

Answer 5

Keeping them warm will help. Try warming up in a warm shower or bath and then get into some long sleeved pajamas and put socks and slippers on and lay down under a warm blanket and turn OFF THE AIRCONDITIONER!!!!!!
See if this helps you. If this does,nt do anything for you then please go to your doctorsand tell him about this pain ,please.

Answer 6

Again, you people cannot be diagnosed over the internet on Yahoo by people who cannot find their way out of a paper bag. For heavens sakes, go be evaluated by a doctor!

Answer 7

Try taking some aspirin (thins your blood) and massage the sore areas.

Answer 8

keep them elevated when sitting or laying

Answer 9

try ginko biloba supplements
