Since you have had diabetes for 12 years, these neurological symptoms are likely diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage). The most crucial step is maintaining strict blood sugar control to prevent further damage. For pain and symptom relief, doctors commonly prescribe: 1. Anticonvulsants (like Pregabalin or Gabapentin) to calm overactive nerves. 2. Antidepressants (like Duloxetine or Amitriptyline) to help block pain signals to the brain. 3. Topical treatments (like Lidocaine patches or Capsaicin cream). Because these medications require a prescription and careful dosing, please consult your doctor or endocrinologist immediately for a proper evaluation and a personalised treatment plan.
