I am diabetic also but when I hurt my lower back is the time the top of my thigh went numb. Neuropathy can happen even when your not a diabetic, but it is a complication of diabetes.

Keeping your sugar in control is the most important thing to do. My suggestion for you would be to see your doctor and maybe get a MRI. Good luck. Rose

Thank you for your input
