LDAN: Sounds like length dependent axonal neuropathy. This is frequently due to dm, but could be any one of a number of other diseases. Treatment is really good control of blood glucose and meds to reduce symptoms.

Have it evaluated.: Pain in that area could be due to trauma (fracture, tendon or ligamentous tear, arthritis), infection, inflammation, metabolic conditions (gout) musculoskeletal (bony over growth) or biomechanical abnormality, or neurologic conditions (neuropathy). A thorough history and physical exam and possibly laboratory and radiology exams could determine the cause. Have it evaluated by a professional.
