First stop taking the Lipitor. Could be interaction with other meds. Don't confuse the pain with neuropathy. Diabetics not under control can wreck havoc with your health.
Doctors are hell bent on lowering your blood pressure and cholesterol to desired levels. This is basically in your best interest. But it can be fatal in itself. My pain was un bearable and we thought it was Neuropathy Until I quit taking Lipitor. The pain subsided in two days but I am getting better every day. Learned to walk again and treat my health with diet and exercise. New doctor for my primary care.
