Progressing leg pain and diabetes?

[Mriswith]

Hello,
I’m a little confused and lost and my Doctors a little unsure what’s going on and is sending me for a MRI Scan on my Spinal cord and Brain. My situation is this; 7 months ago I was having a hard time sleeping and had some leg cramps that were keeping me up at night, so my doctor had me take a blood test  which found that I’m type # 2 diabetes. I then took the medication proscribe to help get my Sugar under control. Then about a month after the blood test I started having REALLY bad leg pains. I returned  to my doctor and he said it could be due to the diabetes, so I was prescribed lyrica which has helped a bit but now I’m at the 7 month period and the pain in my leg’s from the calf down are Bad and I can’t sleep anymore. The pain ranged from burning sensations to freezing and electrical pin’s and needles, also numbness. Recently I went to a Neurologist and they couldn’t get a base line on the nerves in my legs, also when she checked my reflexes I didn’t have any in my legs or my arms. I’m currently waiting to have two MRI’s one on my brain and a second on my spinal cord, my questions is what could cause these symptoms? And is it treatable?

Are you blood sugar levels well controlled now?
What are your usual numbers?
Could be diabetic neuropathy.

"...my questions is what could cause these symptoms?"

Brain tumor/s and/or sciatic nerve issues come to mind, but then I'm no doctor nor can I see what your test results show. The MRI's should reveal the source of your discomfort. Good luck.
