My mother is 78 years old. She is a type 2 diabetic. She is having severe pain in here thighs. They are in the form of spasms. They come sitting, lying or when trying to walk. She has been to emergency room at Kaiser 3 times in the last week. They have given her morphine, codine and other drugs which don't work. Vascular insufficiency? intermittent claudication? diabetic neuropathy? We have received many diagnoses from radiation damage to nerve endings from cancer treatments to complications with diabetees. Is there a pain center or some specialist in so. cal. Can this pain ever be stopped? Can diabetic neuropathy be this bad in the thighs. Can physical therapy help. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
