Neuropathy: She could have neuropathy which is nerve damage from history of high blood sugars. She should see her doctor to confirm the diagnosis (history/physical/nerve testings/arterial studies...) and get treated. There are many medications available to help her and ease the pain.

Possible neuropathy: Neuropathy can happen as a result of trauma, or nerve damage due to the consumption of alcohol or certain medications. Symptoms can range from a numbness and tingling sensation, possibly a burning sensation, to an uncomfortable painful sensation of the extremities. Get evaluated by a professional to determine the exact cause in order to get the appropriate treatment.
