Nerve damage prevents pain, leading to unnoticed injuries, fractures, and joint dislocations, causing foot deformity.Symptoms: red, hot, swollen feet (may mimic infection), loss of sensation, rocker bottom deformity, and ulcers in later stages. Though rare, it’s more disabling when both feet are affected.Causes: Mostly poorly controlled diabetes, also spinal injuries, alcoholism, and neurological diseases. If untreated, it can cause infection and amputation. Treatment: Immobilization, no weight-bearing, custom footwear, and surgery if needed.*If you're an organ transplant recipient and would like to share your story on The Seeds of Transformation Podcast, let's connect!ABOUT DR.
