Suggest treatment for polyneuropathy with diabetes
Patient: Hi Dr Samuel, My Mother is suffering with Polyneuropathy from 2012 March we got to know about it in 2013 September. She is on bed from 2012 March. She can move her upper body but not the lower bod, she has the movements in the lower body too however can not lift the body from the lower portion. She is also diabetic. Doctors said that she will be living for next 6 or 12 months. I am really worried. If you could please guide me how i can proceed. Please let me know, Hoping to hear back from you soon. :) Doctor: Dear Patient,  your mother's inability to move the legs may or may not be due to diabetic neuropathy. She should also be checked for spinal stenosis in the lower back and primary muscle disease and maybe thoracic spinal cord problems.  Thank you.
