Hi @fotheringham61

Are you talking about the diabetic foot ulcer you mentioned here?

Or is this something new?

In any case, lots of virtual hugs and I hope your condition improves.

It's something else on the same foot, to cut a long story short after the surgon at the hospital tryed to unblock blood in my leg so blood could go to my toes so that would heal my ulcer, the surgon could not do it as he found out I have ( foot desease) what I am trying to find out can I lead a normal life with foot desease?

It very much depends on what foot disease you have, there are many ranging from athletes foot to gangrene.

I’m sorry you are suffering so much it sounds painful for you @fotheringham61, did you ask the surgeon what he meant by “foot disease”? @Rachox is totally correct it’s a big spectrum, no one here can say wether you will be able to lead a normal life (whatever that is) we aren’t medically trained or know your health records, history lifestyle etc. I think that’s something you need to be asking the specialist who is dealing with your foot problems. I do hope you get it sorted soon

That’s fantastic news!
I haven’t had foot ulcers myself but examine my feet regularly and keep them moisturised. Here‘s some info on keeping your feet healthy:
