Nagging Pain and Foot Ulcers Can be Treated into Remission.

Lower extremity ulcerations are very common in patients with diabetes. These wounds lead to amputation in a surprisingly large percentage of patients with diabetes. The mortality rate following amputation in a patient with diabetes is alarmingly high. Preventive treatment is pivotal to avoid the numerous complications associated with diabetic ulcerations. However, at the onset of ulceration, early treatment under the supervision and guidance of a specialist can result in remission. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is also a life-altering and debilitating disease. Although some patients experience numbness, some experience pain that can be sharp, shooting, and tingling. Although treatment is challenging and often requires medication, newer modalities, such as stimulation and physical therapy, have shown promise in reversing the devastating effects of peripheral neuropathy.
