Do you experience pain due to Type 2 Diabetes?

Pain, pain I live and breath pain, the question is what ailment is causing would be an interesting conclusion so posts on this section should prove informative. The pain caused by post cancer treatment, the pain caused herniated discs, joint pain in hands, ankles, knees, shoulders etc. I always suspected ankle and feet pain was a diabetic issue but as as diabetes will no doubt kill the lower nerves in my feet and legs at sometime perhaps a short term issue, its only been 30 years. I have lovely heart pains on the right side of my heart, the NHS say it is not a heart issue so just grin and bare it. Neck spasms which are as painful as the heart issue, extremely severe, but been told I again must live with it, so possible diabetic pain has to simply join the queue. Whether I will go like my brother with shark fin bones growing out of his feet, he does get free shoes for his feet, a bonus, not. His ankles are now detaching from his legs so as he states, 'clip, clopping along' but he has the bonus of no feelings below his knees.

So, for me pain and what causes it is a big question, I love my Naproxen for the general pain relief around my joints. I have plenty enough pain relief with paracetamol based products of various types. I find the best way to avoid pain is to reduce my activities that cause the pain. All the 'fun of the fair' and as I said I will be interested in other posts that indicate what is diabetic pain!

I have very little feeling in my feet due to diabetes which can be quite funny at times. I was in hospital and had an epidural and they had to check I had full feeling back in my body but don't think they believed me about my feet. It is like permanent pins and needles and cramps in my legs
