I've long wondered what's up with my feet. I can wake up and suddenly I can't put weight on one foot for no real reason. I think it may be diabetic foot. I had great difficulty walking to the shops yesterday and the pain was acute wherever I put my foot up, and ibuprofen didn't really make a difference. The pain is not in the same area of the foot, but travels round. But I had a compression stocking from a time when I was worried about blood clots, and it took a long time to get it on because my foot was so swollen. I wore it all night in bed, and in the morning the paid wasn't completely gone, but it was much reduced. I've ordered more compression stocking online. My problem is hot baths, which can leave me with a foot frozen totally solid, unable to stand on it at all. Some websites actually recommend hot baths and hot tubs for diabetes, and others say the opposite....
