Sir, I am a diabetic for a decade. Hba1c 6.2.lipid, kidney and liver profiles are normal. On novastat 10 mg, teneligliptin 20 mg, benidipine 8 mg, pioglitazone 7.5 mg. My fasting blood sugar 110 and ppg 135. B.p 116/79. For a month I have been suffering from neck mild pain, shoulder and upper back ribs pain and mild knee pain. I went to a cardiologist and ecg is normal. I was on pregabalin but I stopped becoz of edema or swelling as I am taking pioglitazone. Please suggest treatment for pain which I have mentioned. My egfr is normal. Weight 57 kg. Height 5.11.on diet compliance. Brisk walk daily.

Hello, thanks for the query. The glucose levels abd hba1c% look quite good and even the bp readings. I am not aware of pragabalin causing any edema. Only pioglitazone dies cause that. In this communication we are supposed to give only general guide lines no drugs can be prescribed. So if you are looking for upgrading the treatment please come in a private conversation where I can prescribe the required medication. Thanks.

It is better to take a consultation with a Dr. as your symptoms may be due to various causes. Fibromyalgia could be one reason.
