[QUOTE="Grant_Vicat, post: 2425326, member: 388932"] Hi [USER=103721]@hld1904[/USER] I had Type 1 for 54 years. Barely 2 months after a kidney/pancreas transplant I had gout-like pain in my right foot. I was referred to Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, where they similarly found nothing obvious from X-rays or MRI scans. Yet both feet swelled up so that I could not wear shoes. They worked on the theory that it might be Charcot foot - certainly a diabetes complication. I was experimentally put in plaster over a 10 month period (with investigations every 2 or 3 weeks) and eventually put in orthotic shoes, which I still wear. Of course this may be nothing to do with Charcot Foot, but I must stress that I wouldn't just act on a GP's reckoning. In the past I have been driven to A&E without a referral and Type 1 diabetes worked like a talisman. I do think you need to see a diabetes/foot specialist. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
