Are you aware that all Vietnam vets are eligible for compensation if a diabetic?
Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be a blood blister or a diabetic foot ulcer. It is a type of blister that forms when subdermal tissues and blood vessels are damaged without piercing the skin.Elevate the foot,give rest to the part,apply cold compresses,soak the blister in Epsom sale and keep the foot bandaged so as to avoid its rupture. If the blister breaks, quickly rinse the area and apply an antiseptic such as neosporin.
s disease, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, hyperventilation, hypocalcemia or polyneuritis then you have associated foot numbness and tingling. There are other causes but these are the most common problems. You need to get yourself checked of diabetes, blood pressure, anemia and also mineral balance to diagnose the problem if you have it in a chronic way then I suggest you to see a neurologist.
Take care!
These are just some common causes.
-Bloating/water retention, especially with pregnancy.
-Strain from heavy body weight or excessive exercise and usage.
-Poor circulation.
Plantar fasciitis, arthritis of small joints, diabetic neuropathy, hypothyroidism, high blood pressure, over weight, deep vein thrombosis, wrong foot wear, gout, etc are a few causes of foot pain.
Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. You may need to consult an orthopedic specialist and get X-ray and maybe MRI of the feet, nerve conduction studies, blood glucose examination etc. Take care!
It starts from foot to upwards. while standing for a long time in same position it also occurs. In morning after sleep the burning sensation is there. Please let me know the cause and its remedy.
Hello,
As your husband is a diabetic and moreover there is a soft sore on the foot,so the possibility of diabetic foot is there. Diabetic foot is an umbrella term for foot problems in patients with diabetes mellitus.
To prevent diabetic foot ulcers,he should have good foot hygiene, wear diabetic socks and shoes, and avoid injury.A consultation of a podiatrist will be the best.
Take care and pls do keep me posted on how your husband is doing or if you have any additional doubts.
the combination of symptoms might suggest that you get tested for diabetes. There may be other causes for your tiredness and headaches related to the IVF meds and I would talk with your doctor about this. Additionally, going through IVF can be a very tiring and stressful process in and of itself, so don't be too hard on yourself if you do tire easily. I wish you much luck and success in this next round of IVF.
Hello,
In my earlier post,I have mentioned some of the common causes of vomitings and nausea.As you have mentioned that your husband is a type-I diabetic,so possibility of diabetic ketoacidosis may be there.It is a state of absolute or relative insulin deficiency aggravated by ensuing hyperglycemia, dehydration, and acidosis-producing derangements in intermediary metabolism. http://www.emedicine.com/emerg/topic135.htm
Did your husband get evaluated for his blood sugar levels in the ER.
Itching and burning feet for a diabetic can have a few causes. One of these is peripheral nerve damage. If the itching is related to this, the most effective treatment is to keep your blood glucose within normal range. Another possible cause is fungal infection. This would include a rash like with athletes foot. If you notice a rash, you should see your doctor to get a prescription for an antifungal cream. As a diabetic, make sure you are checking your feet regularly for any skin issues.
You may indeed have an associted bacteria infection which requires urgent medical attention due to your risk of developing a diabetic foot ulcer. I feel that you may not quite fully understand how diabetes works, I would suggest you visit a diabetes educator to develop your knowledge as this will help you deal with your condition in future years.
By night time it is quite large and uncomfortable. There is no swelling in any other part of my foot (toes etc). I am type 2 diabetic and am concerned. I am not on any meds, I exercise 5 days/week. This started about a week ago and then there was bruising on the ankle bones. I went to emerg and was told by looking at it that is was nothing to be concerned about. I am concerned. I'm healthy. This is very odd. There have been no tests run at all.
s wearing tight socks). Is this diabetic peripheral neurapathy? He has no other symptoms...excessive thirst, excessive unrinating, etc. He has a doctor's appointment next Tuesday but I want a few answers now. Any ideas?
I having been having problems with pain in my foot, its really bad and when it happens I can't walk. it really seems like gout but I am a vegetarian, I have been avoiding legumes and other foods known to cause gout, I do not drink beer, could there be other causes or could it be a different condition? It has been happening quite often these past few months...
