Hi vbutcher. To kind of echo what's been said, I've had similar problems and I think it is probably related to your recent high BG. Back when I was diagnosed and for the first few years with pretty high BG, I was very suceptible to pinched nerves, aches and pains etc. I was never diagnosed with neuropathy or actual circulation problems by the doctors. It was shorter term, intransient effects upon the circulation and nerve system, but not full blown neuropathy in the verifyable or "permanent damage" sense. I'm not sure the doctors would necessarily agree this is the case (then again they might), because it's quite possible those tests that you speak of just won't pick up on this phenomenon.

So, to me it sounds like you have "mild", reversable, effects of neuropathy from running high only 2 months ago. I believe the general rule for these effects to fade is something like 6 to 12 months of better BG levels. Gotta grin and wear it for a while: but if this is the case it really should go away.

By the way, you might want to try changing your bed. I found that on some beds it would happen every time, on others of different density the pinched nerve problem was much minimised.
