I have type two diabetes and now I m having a lot of symptoms of neuropathy and my left foot is in so much pain around the ankle and all down my foot to my toe hurt so bad that I can t barely walk. It feels like my bones are breaking every step I take. Is this due to the diabetes and neuropathy?
Hello, the symptoms may be related to diabetes, but clinical assessment is required for a solid diagnosis. There are two diabetes related disorders to consider. The first one is neuropathy which is usually symmetric, which means that you would expect the same symptoms in both feet. The second one is related to the first, but it also causes joint problems. It is called Charcot arthropathy and should be evident by a change I'm foot contour and perhaps signs of inflammation. So in conclusion you should visit your doctor for clinical assessment and further guidance. I hope it helps! Kind Regards!
