If you haven't looked at this already it might be worth a read to see if anything ties in with what you're experiencing:-

Diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage)

What is diabetic neuropathy? Diabetic neuropathy is when diabetes causes damage to your nerves. It can affect different types of nerves in your body, including in your feet, organs and muscles. Nerves carry messages between the brain and every part of our bodies so that we can see, hear, feel...

I got a similar pain from sitting in an office chair all day. Could be something as simple as not having the correct posture. Im not saying is definitely not neuropathic by nature, but there are a tonne of things it could be, a lot of which can be treated.
 
Sorry to hear about the pain and discomfort you are experiencing @chinichor1

You are right in that neuropathy related to diabetes most commonly presents in the extremities like feet and hands.

Have you had your pulses checked in your ankles and feet since your diagnosis. Ideally this is a check that should happen every year, but many forum members say theirs happens far less frequently.

Have you spoken to your GP about the sensations you are experiencing? If it’s tricky to book an appointment at your surgery it might be easier to try an e-consult?

Alternatively you might like to try calling the Diabetes UK helpline - 0345 123 2399 Mon-Fri 9-6 to see what they suggest?

Is the pain deep or just under the skin?

I agree with @EmmaL76 i worked in offices for years and bad posture can cause pain in back or ribs and can be horrid, making any spine issues far more painful, day to day working habits or being born with things like a slight curve of the spine can be made very painful by bad posture or leaning over while working.

It can be identified /ruled out really quickly by an X-ray and helped with anti inflammatory medication, gel heat pads or cool pads might help too, trial and error with a pad can help you try and relieve the pain.

I would try and see your dr as it’s a persistent issue, hoping it is something that can be easily sorted for you.
 
Thanks to all of u for my help i booked appointment with gp and taking co-codamol to subsye pain and i belive too now as well its not related to neuropathy
