Symptoms of Diabetic Nerve Pain

Diabetes is not a diagnosis that anyone really wants to face, but it is not necessarily the constant worry about sugar and carbohydrate intake that concerns diabetic patients the most. Often it is the related health issues that can arise that are more problematic. This includes nerve pain.

It is estimated that approximately two-thirds of all diabetics suffer from some level of nerve damage. This is thought to be caused by several factors related to the disease included the nerves’ extended exposure to high glucose levels and the body’s natural inflammatory response.

There are many symptoms that are related to diabetic nerve pain. These can include sadness or depression, tingling in fingers or toes, and dull aches in one area or all over the body. Burning, stabbing, or throbbing pain is often described by patients and certain areas may even be sensitive to touch, to heat, or cold. If an area goes numb and has little or no feeling at all, the nerve damage may be more extensive. This is also true is the area loses the able to sense heat or cold.

Occasionally nerve pain can cause temporary muscle weakness making it difficult to do normal daily activities. Being able to describe your pain and also how you deal with it is important to the diagnosis and treatment process.
