muscle spasms
Hi I was diagonosed in 2001 but have nerve damage in feet. I experience very bad spasms in my toes and lower legs.
What drugs have been used for this? Bananas or gatorade don't help. Thank you aheart

I am type 2 also. I have nerve damage in my spine and other places (not diabetes related). Even though it is different they seem to be treated similarly.
I am also a chronic intractable pain patient. With that I want you all to keep in mind we all react differently to different kinds of pain and meds.
I was started on opiates which do help some (I know many are against this, however there have been quite a few times I was almost driven to ending it all)
I was given Neurontin and it kept being upped, it made me very tired, but that is all. Baclophen didn't help either. My doctor begged me to try Lyrica. It didn't help except with sleep. There are other meds similar to neurontin that may help better.
Now some may think my meds are extreme, but as I said w/o them I probably wouldn't be typing this. I try to take as little of the opiates as possible. Because of a spinal cord injury my psyiatrist (physical therapy doctor) doesn't want me to go to p.t. He isn't the only one that has told me that. My last surgeon forbade it. I know why now, The surgery failed.
I am on Morphine,oxycodone(prn), xanaflex for spasms(used often for spinal cord injuries and M.S. I am on 2 antidepressants ):
Mel you should really ask your doctor about your husbands nerve damage, whether there is a way to help relieve the pain and possibly stop the progress. I know good control should do wonders.

I had stroke Nov.2007 and nerve pain and spasms are about to drive my crazy. Neurontin,Baclophen nor lyrica really seem to reducing the pain. I am waiting for my change.
My husband is type II dibetes He complains of numbing of his toes, we told the doc about it and he said it is nerve damage. Can this be reversed or stopped from getting worse?
