Feet Problems

Has anyone experience a similar issue with their feet. I have (touch wood) pretty good feet and never had any issues until now, but I wanted to check if diabetes feet complications can be a pain thing as well as the obvious open wound sores.

I have a pain in the skin of my foot around the heel area, the skin is not broken and there is no mark but it just aches. It feels like I am wearing shoes all the time with a big rock pushing into the flat of my foot near the heel.

My husband thinks I might just have pulled a little muscle as he cant see anything wrong it but I have to say I do go on red alert when it comes to anything to do with feet having had diabetes for 19 years without little complications.

Any similar stories please share

Vicki,
Have you thought of a heel spur? I'd be off to have it checked.

Thanks HelenP

Yes I does appear to be what you suggested it could be. I have looked on a few websites and looked at some images and it is a pretty good match. The website suggest a few things to do to help the problem which I will give a go with some of them, otherwise if all else fails I am at my clinic in 2 weeks so I will be having my foot checked then.

Thanks for you advice and I think you might have hit the nail on the head

Regards Vicky

Does it hurt more in the morning then wear off? I had Plantar Fasciitis which is sometimes known as a heel spur too (not sure why as there is no extra bone). The dr gave me voltarol which did the job. Hope it clears up soon.
