[QUOTE="nicey1958, post: 1943197, member: 351446"] What he said. I have diabetic neurop. I went over on my ankle back in June, it started to hurt, so went to the a&e dept. had an xray.. was told it was only soft tissue damage ( i gave them all the info on my diabetes type 2 etc.. they sent me home and said rest up a cpl of days which i did.. About 2 weeks later, the ankle really swelled up badly, so i went back to the A&E where they sent me for yet another xray. It turned out that since the last visit to a&e, I had broken both my tibia and fib in three places. I was put in a normal cast, made an appointment for fracture clinic in a weeks time, by which time, my ankle collapsed and displaced my foot by about 2 inches to the side( which the diabetic foot clinic and ortho surgeon diagnosed as charcot foot/ankle) They said I should have come straight to diabeic foot clinic and they could have put me in the correct cast for this type of injury. Anyway. after a ct scan and 2 mri scans ,I now due for an operation to fuse my foot to my leg by having a nail and plate put in from the heel to halfway up my shin in a major op. Never ignore and pain in your foot, no matter how small if u have Neuropathy. [/QUOTE]
