@A DiabetesTeam Member you crack me up😂😂😂 Claudication; muscle pain due to lack of oxygen. Paresthesia; sensation of, tingling, burning, skin crawling, pins and needles sensation Spascity; stiff or rigid muscles. Wow I actually knew something you weren't familiar with,🤣🤣 about time for me.

There are options for nerve issues. If you are having any of these symptoms, talk to your Dr.❤

Paresthesia is the feeling of tingling, numbness or “pins and needles.” Everyone experiences this feeling at some point in their lives.

Spasticity is stiff or rigid muscles. It may also be called unusual tightness or increased muscle tone. Reflexes (for example, a knee-jerk reflex) are stronger or exaggerated. The condition can interfere with walking, movement, speech, and many other activities of daily living.
