MedHelp Member's Question

Diabetic Amyotrophy

by runrabbit, Feb 24, 2008 05:00AM

As I have been diagnosed with the above by a Nurologist what treatment would be advised?

I have been having severe progressive lower limb wasting and weakness with pain since January 2007.

Is a steriod treatment an option by my Nurologist?
