[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2282903, member: 401801"] Any time you're in doubt, call back and ask for more help than you're getting. I think there's some inflammation going on and the ibuprofen and rest should help, but if you're unsure.... Ask for a referral. The diabetic foot things are usually loss of sensation/neuropathy, and ulcerations/sores that get infected, but it doesn't sound like that's what's going on. I don't think your foot's going to fall off any time soon. Not everything is diabetes related though, could well be you simply did yourself an injury. Cold compresses, anti-inflammatories (maybe a steroid injection? It would raise blood sugars for a while though), rest... It could be a while before things really improve, weeks, not days. But again, if you don't trust it... GP. Hope it feels better soon! Jo [/QUOTE]
