Hi
I have had a terrible pain in my back for about 2 weeks, not back ache , a pain, when i am driving its terrible😱
I see the diabetic nurse Thurs for 3 month review , is it best telling her or making a docs appointment?
Its probably nothing but think i ought to get it checked

What makes you think its diabetic related goosey? Personally I'd be seeing the GP because it's beyond her remit.
 
I just wonder if its kidney as where it is
 
Agree it's more of a GP matter, I suffer from bad pain in the back and around that area and my pain is not connected with diabetes, more of an age thing and trapped nerves in my case.

I am in my first month of using noninvasive transdermal CO2 (DOXYVA) and immediately was able to sleep! If you continue to use the cartridges you will manage your neuropathy but it varies from person to person. My back pain has lessened and Im back to my daily routine. 🙂

Well I Googled that, says it's for circulation problems. Well fine. Where does Goosey say he's been diagnosed with circulation problems?

poor circulation isn’t a condition itself. It is a result of other health issues. Common symptoms include tingling, numbness, and throbbing or stinging pain in your limbs.
Your body’s circulation system is responsible for sending blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout your body. When blood flow to a specific part of your body is reduced, you may experience the symptoms of poor circulation. Poor circulation is most common in your extremities, such as your legs and arms.

Poor circulation isn’t a condition in itself. Instead, it results from other health issues. Therefore, it’s important to treat the underlying causes, rather than just the symptoms. Several conditions can lead to poor circulation. The most common causes include obesity, diabetes, heart conditions, and arterial issues.
 
My sisters back pain turned out to be a heart attack. Best go docs and find out to be on the safe side, no point guessing.

I am not going to guess, but will guess its not a heart attack😱 i will get an appointment
 
She dosent :D

Ooops sorry! - there are no clues on your sig, so without looking at your profile it was a guess - and if you haven't posted the post you were typing when you look at a profile - it disappears. Anyway - I got it right that you hadn't LOL

My point was - none of us can guess whether the pain we have somewhere is from the same cause as someone else's pain in the same place. If someone has eg a stye, would the same remedy have worked just as well for King Harold in 1066 ? LOL
 
Well i have been docs about this today, did a urine sample was clear, have to do another weds and blood tests
