[QUOTE="Antechinus, post: 1912457, member: 493842"] Charcot's foot only occurs under specific circumstances. It occurs when a person has severe neuropathic feet with normal vascular health. It is triggered by some kind of injury, which typically is not felt, and an out of control vascular response occurs which allows excessive amounts of blood to flow through the foot. This causes rapid bone degeneration and eventually bone collapse. Often the only signs this is happening is the foot is hot, bounding pulses and distended veins. Any neuropathic foot that has pain should be investigated for Charcot. Charcots foot can be very debillitating and the deformity that results is very challenging to manage. Caught early it can be treated and the deformity can be avoided. [/QUOTE]
