Diabetes and Foot Pain? I am a newly diagnosed diabetic and I'm 45 years old. I am also fairly active as I am a HS football official. After the game on Friday night, I have pain in one or both my feet. In one foot, it's on the heel, on the other on the pad below my toes. It isn't always the same combination and sometimes it doesn't hurt at all. I've been diagnosed with plantar faciatis (sp?) in one foot, but the pain doesn't feel like that. Could this be linked to my diabetes? Would those diabetic "circulation socks" help at all? Or am I just getting old?

Can someone advise on foot pain? My dad is having severe foot pain in both feet. He says the pain is in the whole foot not just parts of it. As if the toes are going to explode. He says it's a shooting type of pain. I'm wondering if his diabetes may not be a part of it. He''s been out of test strips so he hasn't checked his blood sugar in a week. He doesn't monitor it very well anyways. He says they have been hurting for about a week. We tried putting hot and cold compresses on them. He says he can't feel hot or cold in them. just the pain. He also says the pain has gotten to where it will wake him up in the middle of the night. Any advice people? I know that diabetes ain't nothing to be taken lightly. He knows that too. He simply don't care. I've seen him have his blood sugar at comatose levels for weeks at a time and still eating Reese's peanut butter cups like they were going out of style. I believe his blood sugar was at around 700 then. I know, it's hard to believe, but he's nothing near ordinary. We have all informed him of how he could get all his testing products for free, he's simply too lazy to do it. He's by far the biggest pain in the a$$ I've ever met. But I still want some advice on the feet, partly because I feel sorry for anyone in that type of pain, and partly because if that were helped, he would quit whining to me about it. I know it sounds like I'm being a harda$$, and maybe I am, but he's the biggest whiner you'll ever meet, and most the time there's alterior motives to his whining, although I don't believe there is with the feet. You can't understand unless you know him. today he says there's no pain, but he seems to think it's only a temporary relief. thanks for the info so far everyone. oh, and we've tried the subtle approach, and forceful just don't work. I think we'd have to have one or two specific friends of his come over to pull that off. the man can scrap. more than likely, we'll have to resort to bribery to get him to think about keeping his diabetes in check. i just hate to get him started, cuz he'll milk it for all he can
How to stop the pain with Diabetes? My mother was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a month ago, since then she has her blood sugar level under control, but has terrible pain in her knees feet and back.

Undiagnosed leg/foot pain, dealing with for 20+ years, not Raynaud's? I'm 25 & have had this pain since before I can remember. When I was younger, it was mainly my feet, and this is the best I can liken it to: if you've ever tied string or rubber band around a finger for any period of time, it's that sort of weird, vice-like, tightness that becomes a strong, constant pain. My physician growing-up determined it was Raynaud's, which he later ruled out when the pain began spreading up my legs. At the time, tests ruled out diabetes and arthritis. There's no swelling/color change, my feet are always like ice and look dead. When they hurt, anything other than cold feels awful. The pain comes at random (not worse depending on season), whether I'm sitting, standing, or sleeping. Usually, the pain is a few times a week and last a few hours to all day. It's not so bad that I can't walk, but enough to ruin my day. I've had no foot/leg/back injuries/surgeries. Also, wearing knee-high socks is painful (?). Any ideas? Should I find a neurologist or a rheumatologist? I just tried making a neurologist appt., but was told I should see a vascular surgeon...?

what are some causes for short term severe foot pain? I was at work this evening (I'm a waitress) when all of a sudden I took a step and nearly fell over from the severe pain my right foot was in. It was pain located in the heel, back of lower foot and ankle region. I could but absolutely no weight on it without pain shooting through my foot. Then, a few minutes later it was gone and didn't happen the rest of the evening. This is the first time this has happened to me. It's not a particularly busy restaurant so it is a very stress-free environment and not a very active job. A couple years ago I lost feeling in the right side of my right calf between my ankle and knee. Could it be related? I've never had high blood pressure, or diabetes. Thanks!

Is Charcot Marie Tooth Disease associated with Diabetes Mellitus? I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes about 3 years ago. It has progerssively gotten worse. I was diagnosed with Diabetic Polyneuropathy last year as well. I was always described as a "clumbsy" child. My mother said I was the only person she knew that could fall down without taking a step. My neuro says I have a gait disturbance but has done nothing as far as telling my why. I had some foot pain the last three days and had an x-ray done. My Internist told me I have arthritis and bone spurs but it could be Charcot Marie Tooth Disease. Is there any information out there linking Charcot Marie Tooth Disease and Diabetes?

He has told me several times that he can not treat me for long term chronic pain yet has only referred me to a pain specialist who only does injections on my back and doesn't help with the pain for the neuropathy.

He still refuses to refer me to a neurologist and keeps telling me to go to the pain specialist.

Diabetees patients getting pain in the leg or knee or below knee or foot or palms, what is the reason.? Whether it related to diabetes only. and what is the cure with controlled sugar level.
I've had increasing foot pain over past decade (am now 35). Also leg and knee pain.? This really started in my mid 20's, as well as episodes of chronic fatigue and fever and inflammation type symptoms. I also have always had poor circulation. I did see a doctor years ago and he just wanted to put me on anti deppresants, which i have also taken off and on for years. I've been told I should see a Rheumatologist but do not currently have med. insurance. Just curious if anyone experiences similar symptoms and has any ideas on what I may be dealing with as the problems seem to be getting worse after having 2 babies. I do also have a lot of diabetic symptoms (had gestational diabetes w/ last 2 preg) and really need to follow-up and have blood glucose testing again, so don't know how much these issues could play into things as well. Just want to get well to raise my kids! Gonna have to seek help somewhere. Thanks =0)

Mystery Foot Ailment: What is it? I've been to 3 doctors, the last one supposedly a specialist. However since the foot was not hurting by the time the appointment rolled around - each doctor dismissed it. Foot Pain - running from big toe-knuckle to ankle, off and on, sometimes swelling for a few hours. Hurts worse laying down especially at night. TESTS for Gout and Diabetes or Arthritis in foot are negative. The doctors insist nothing is wrong - because the pain is not present nor swelling by the time I get to see them, It occurs without any set pattern or time. No Injury to foot that I am aware of. I would think an MRI would clear up the mystery but no doctor will do it. Anyone else have this problem? If so WHAT IS IT!? I am sick to death of these idiot hick backwoods doctors. I have been to a Podiatrist, but the man refused to hear me explain symptoms and by the time of my appointment the pain was gone. He treated me as if I were imagining the pain even after explaining it was not hurting at the time. He told me to make an appointment when it was hurting next time. Hello Doctor! I DID! But they schedule the visit several days away. The pain always returns as if when it so desires. I don't go barefoot but do wear sandals often. No foot injuries, not even glass chards.
If someone has nerve damage on their feet from Diabetes? What do do if Doctor refuses to give Rx for Pain? I know of someone that has Nerve Damage in their feet from Diabetes and is only.

What can someone do if a Foot Doctor refuses to write out a Rx for pain when you need it as your foot also swells after awhile on the feet. Any suggestions? I'm asking this for a friend whom went to the foot doctor and he refuses to help this person with diabetes besides only giving injections.

What might cause acute foot pain in both feet? My husband is 10 weeks post 5 way heart bypass and valve repair surgery. He naturally has the high blood pressure and diabetes to go along with that. In the last week he has been complaining about a pain in his left thigh, the only descriptor he will give is muscle pain. The blood vessels for the surgery were taken entirely from his right leg. This afternoon he is complaining about overall foot pain in both feet. The pain has worsened over the last 24 hours or so. He says that walking and wearing his tennis shoes makes the pain better. I have a heel spur, and post surgery he had foot pain they said was plantar facia-itis(sp) so maybe it's just a flare up of that? His cardiologist is unavailable outside of office hours. His family doctor's office said (over the phone) if the pain is that severe it might be a blood clot and he should go to the ER. We don't have insurance. My husband thinks his doctors might release him to go back to work this week, and we're quite strapped financially, so he doesn't want to go to the ER (plus there's the whole "pincushion" thing). In addition, my husband argues that if it was a blood clot it wouldn't be pain in both feet. He says he'll just "deal with" the pain. How can I convince him to go to the ER? Or, is this something that's normal for heart patients? How concerned should I be?

Has anyone with diabetes noticed if they eat certain food they have pain in their feet & other times they don'? I think someone who doesn't have really bad damage to their feet can reverse the problems. I know I can start a food journal.

If you are here to say that nothing will help, please don't bother leaving your answer cause that is not the answer to my question. I want to know about what people have noticed or done to improve their health. Thank you.
What is diabetic foot or leg pain like? I was diagnosed with a "pre-diabetes" condition about four years ago. Now, I am starting to feel pain in my left foot and calf. Could someone plz tell me what diabetic foot pain is like? My pain is always in my left leg, and it is not really excruciating, just annoying. Sometimes it hurts a little bit more so I can't walk; but still I can't say I have "severe" pain. It is more like a spasm. and when I rest, it gets well gradually, but starts again when I get up and walk. Could it be that I have diabetes? I have heard that diabetic foot/leg pain is so severe that people cannot even bear the weight of a blanket on their feet, or it hurts so bad when they touch their feet or legs. Mine is nothing like that!
Foot pains, only when applied pressure? Recently I've been having foot pains, at first when in the shower (bath tub base), today I did a bit more walking than usual (Vans shoes, not the greatest support I'm assuming) Mainly, I was wondering what would most likely cause this pain. I'm hoping for the simplest cause, like simply tired feet, but I don't walk long distances. This question mainly comes from my paranoia of Diabetes. Is diabetic foot pain anything like what I described?
Diabetes/pain in the foot? My dad is 50 years old, with diabetes. Recently(2 days ago) one of his feet has started to bother him, he described it as pain on the side of his foot, like its all bruised or something(not numbness or pins and needles) and i know that with diabetics its common to havee foot problems or even to get them cut off. Does this sound like this is what it is?
My foot is pulsing with pain at night. What's up? I have type two diabetes which is under control through medication, diet and exercise, though I have some nerve damage in my feet. Lately about three in the morning my foot will start to pulse with pain. There will be a stab of pain in the top of my foot. It is just a pulse, but the moment I start to fall asleep there will be another waking me up. It's not that severe, but I can't sleep while it's happening. Is this a diabetes thing and is there anything I can do? I am exhausted!
