Sudden severe thigh pain, muscle wasting, and weakness in a diabetic patient should never be ignored.
One possible cause is Diabetic Amyotrophy — a lesser-known but important neurological complication of diabetes.
In this awareness video, Dr Neeraja, Consultant Neuro Physician at Samagra Hospitals, Guntur, explains what diabetic amyotrophy is, how it presents, and how to identify it early to prevent long-term disability.
Diabetic amyotrophy mainly affects the nerves supplying the thigh, hip, and pelvic muscles, leading to pain followed by weakness and muscle loss — even when sugar levels appear reasonably controlled.
In This Video, You Will Learn:
