I went to the poditrist this afternoon. It was my 2 week check up from the partial removal of an ingrown tonail. It is healing but not very fast. He put me on another round of antibiotics. This is will be my 4th round for my toes.
While I was there I explained that I had been diagnosed with diabetes since the partial removal. Again, we discuss the pain that I have been having in my feet for a while. About a week ago it had gotten so bad that it hurt to walk for any distance. This is something he was going to address after getting the toenails finished not knowing that I had diabetes. But today, he ran a few tests and came to the conclusion that I have a slight case of neuropathy. 'Slight' might be a word I would decribe for today but NOT what have felt several time lately. I will be going back see him in two weeks for both the toes and update on the feet. He did not want to start any medicine at this point as the diabetic nurse and doctor have just started. (Just diagnosied two weeks ago tomorrow)
I realize that the doctors will help with the long term stuff and that my counts need to be undercontrol. I guess my question is does any one have any suggestions for "the bad days"?
