For chronic bone and joint pain in diabetic patients, paracetamol is generally considered safe as a first-line treatment. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen or naproxen, can be used cautiously under medical supervision due to potential risks to the kidneys, heart, and blood sugar levels. For severe or nerve-related pain, medications such as opioids, low-dose tricyclic antidepressants, or gabapentinoids may be considered, but all treatments should be selected and monitored by a doctor. Maintaining good blood sugar control and incorporating physical therapy can also help reduce pain. Always consult your doctor before starting any medication.
