You REALLY have to wear GOOD shoes when you go outside!

Get your feet checked regularly. Wear seamless socks or hose and shoes that are the right size and width.

Very good, Everybody please have the doctor check your feet every time you go to him/ her. I am on three types of meds for this to control the pain in them . I wear (special)shoes with inserts that cost close to you don't won't to know and that still doesn't help much. For lack of better words don't be afraid to stick your feet in the doc's face. Get them looked at.

This is really informative as I have had increasing numbness in my toes and feet the last couple of years. I have had some blisters that took weeks to heal even with me being very watchful and careful. Believe me I really take care of my feet ever since that incident.

Excellent video, everyone check your feet! I have had an ulcer since May and is very slow healing. Casts for 8 months, NO FUN!

Good video and very informational. I've been a type 2 diabetic for 2 years and I've got neuropathy on both feet. Sometimes it is so painful I can't stand the blankets on my feet. I have a friend who just recently had 3 toes amputated and possibly will lose his whole leg up to his knee. This scares me to bits.

Thanks for sharing. I have that problem on side of my heel, been going on since first noticed in July. Two surgeries, three infections, and now a hickman catheter in my chest for IV infusions. Those with neuroapathy…CHECK YOUR FEET.
