title: Recurrent multifocal diabetic myonecrosis: a cause of severe extremity pain in a diabetic patient.
abstract: We detail the unusual occurrence of successive episodes of diabetic myonecrosis in both lower and upper limbs in a young woman with diabetic end organ dysfunction. We highlight the importance of recognising this as a differential diagnosis for acute limb pain in diabetic patients and  advocate conservative measures for successful treatment and return to function.
