Understanding Diabetic Foot Pain: Managing Nerve Damage and Finding Relief

 

At the Axon Pain Centre,India we recognize that up to 50% of individuals with diabetes may encounter nerve pain, often originating in their hands or feet. This discomfort can significantly disrupt sleep, mobility, and everyday activities. Symptoms of diabetic nerve pain range from sharp, stabbing sensations to a feeling of extremities being ablaze.

Our experienced team of podiatrists at the Axon Pain Centre is dedicated to assisting patients with diabetes in managing foot care and alleviating both nerve damage and associated pain. It's crucial to prioritize diabetic foot care to mitigate severe complications such as impaired circulation, delayed wound healing, infections, and even amputation.

Diabetes contributes to foot pain by gradually damaging peripheral nerves, resulting in peripheral neuropathy. This damage, caused by prolonged elevated blood sugar levels, manifests as numbness, tingling, stabbing pains, or burning sensations.

To prevent Diabetic Neuropathy and foot pain, maintaining stable blood sugar levels is paramount. This involves dietary adjustments to regulate sugar intake, oral medications to stabilize glucose levels and insulin resistance, or insulin injections to manage blood glucose levels effectively.

While there's no cure for diabetic neuropathy, collaborative efforts between you and our best Pain management Specialist,Dr S A Tipannavarr can effectively manage symptoms and alleviate foot pain. Monitoring nerve conductivity through tests can track the progression of your condition.

Additionally, prioritizing foot health is vital, as persistent pain or numbness can diminish awareness of foot injuries, potentially leading to untreated wounds. Any foot injury or cut should prompt an immediate visit to our office for proper wound care.
