Sciatica?: Your symptoms sound consistent more with sciatica than diabetic neuropathy. See a doctor if it is hurting that bad.

Sounds like sciatica: Is it on both sides? If you are taking metformin, you will develop neuropathy eventually. That can be treated with the right supplement (a medical food called neuremedy). For now, though it sounds like a bout of sciatica. This can be treated by some chiropractors and physical therapists.

Abnormal nerve: Neuropathy is a condition resulting from abnormal nerve function. Neuropathy can be due to certain vitamin deficiencies, nerve damage due to trauma, compression, alcohol consumption, radiation, side effects of certain medications, or due to certain medical conditions such as diabetes. Treatment varies depending on the cause of the problem. Have it evaluated and appropriately treated.
