I have severe burning, severe pain and numbness of the hands every morning especially if my hands are elevated. My diabetes type II is not well controlled and I'm taking 2 glipizides in AM and 2 Metforming bid both on maxed doses and recently 4 units of regular Insulin tid and NPH 10 units bid.

Feet go numb and tingle mostly evenings. Sometimes pain is so bad I cry have to put feet on something cold like ice packs or a cold floor. I can't wear shoes for more than a couple of hours before they start burning. Sometimes pain and burning is so bad I would love to cut feet off, that couldn't hurt any worse. I'm on lyrica 100mg 2 times a day but it doesn't seem to help. I'm tired of this pain. My blood sugars are high I can't seem to get them down much. I have tried controlling it for years, they go high and sometimes they are low and I do the same thing. Someone said it's all in my head but I don't think so.

The symptoms that occur for me is the sensation of my socks being bunched up on the arch of my feet. Also I have a burning sensation in the distal tibia which is substantial during night hours.
