hi All
I thought I would ask here first to possibly rule out diabetic causes, as my local 'walk-in' has a wait of 4-6 hours and podiatry about 3 months.
For about a week I've had a viciously unpleasant and sharp pain on the outside lower edge of my heel, to the left and near the sole. At rest, there's no pain or numbness, either static or with movement, but if I extend my leg and attempt to gently lift the toes upwards or rotate the foot inwards, it's like something is about to rip asunder. It hasn't improved either by rest or gentle exploratory stretching. I've browsed anatomical diagrams and cannot see what could be happening: I know foots are incredibly complex machines but I would like to rule out diabetic neuropathy (or indeed confirm it if that be the case). Other than a little numbness under the ball and big toe all has been fine until this.
Any guidance appreciated!
