Diabetic foot pain

derbygirl · 11-13-2006, 09:51 PM

Before I was diagnosed with diabetes, I started having foot pain, not knowing that was a symptom. I always assumed it was stress from my weight causing the pain.

My blood sugars have come down since the surgery, and for a couple of weeks post-surgery, my foot pain went away. But it's back now and I'm wondering...will it go away as I lose weight? Or is this permanent damage?

Is anyone here currently dealing with this problem, and if so, how do you manage the pain?

Or if you have had this problem in the past and no longer have it as an issue, please speak up.

No way to tell without direct physical exam.

Diabetic neuropathy may be part of the problem. Or 'simple' mechanical stresses on the arches & soft tissues of the foot. Or feet?

Too little information presented here. Any diabetic needs to have foot sensitivity evaluated by their PCP for accuracy of DDx.
