[QUOTE="Adele99, post: 704057, member: 47601"] Not been online for a while. The Vascular surgeon told me why this happening. He said that the problem is due to diabetic nerve damaging tendons and muscle control in the legs and feet. So some nerves aren't working which causes a mismatch of the tendons pulling in the right direction at the right time, The result is toes like mine. The problem it gives me is that the tips of my toes are now very vulnerable to corns and hard skin forming, as they're touching the shoes , even my specially made to measure shoes. Coupled with my restricted circulation which is very poor, now high risk for more ulcers. But have to say the Podiatry team who visit every couple of weeks are brilliant in looking after them. I hope everyone with foot problems has as a good a service as I have . [/QUOTE]
