Daniella, I've been checked for diabetes and thankfully, I don't have it. My GP checks my bloodwork every 3 months to keep an eye on it and all the other stuff. My original diagnosis is for sensory polyneuropathy so I don't think any of the motor ones are a factor. I saw my GP and he said that the nerve gets weak which causes the muscles to weaken and that explains why I also get pains in my opposite leg while exercising and they stop me in my tracks. I have to wait until it subsides to continue.
So, I know the PN is to blame for the pain, numbness and the weakness. Its strange how the nerves behave like this, but it makes sense to me in a strange way. Thanks for posting
