I encourage you to have hope and strength to combat your medical condition. As an orthopedic surgeon, I have not come across that specific medical/neurological condition. If you are having bone pain, then I feel it is important for you to be working closely with a doctor who is knowledgeable of Diabetes and treats their patients with empathy, compassion and success (success = the patients generally learn to adapt and relate to something that empowers them to practice a new routine that leads to a change in mindset and elevated physical feeling of less pain and more function). I generally feel that keeping βallβ (over 500 joints) joints moving through a full range of motion helps keep them mobile, healthy and strong. Completion of this specific joint-health activity is likely to lessen the severity of pain.
