question: I assume it is diabetic amyotrophy, or proximial diabetic neuopathy. My right leg would hurt when trying to get out of bed and laying flat usually makes my leg muscles hurt over time. At the same time, though very much better, my right foot would feel numb (now the bottom of my toes only, but that s all). The muscle pain would go from my right rear-end, rear right thigh, behind the knee, and right calf. I ve been keeping my blood sugar between 130 and 180, but after learning 120 was the main number to avoid, I rarely go over 130 when I check it, sometimes just under 120 when waking up, rarely using my 1000mg metformin (afraid of my sugar dropping TOO low). Coughing and laughing would also hurt the leg I have this pain in. Is this really diabetic amyotrophy, or could it be something else?
