I have diabetic neoropathy and poor hearing. In March of 2017 I got a thumbtack stuck in my shoe. I found a huge hole in my foot. After many trips to the doctor getting the dead skin cut away and twice on a picc for interveious antibiotics it became clear that I had a untreatable bone infection. So my favorite big toe was amputated in November of 2018. In recovery of that I had pain medication and it helped with the neoropathy pain ( Iat least I think it did ). I have been taking gabapentin 800… read more
A pain management Dr. would probably be a good idea. I agree with Kristan Boldrick on the New Balance shoes. They are the only shoes I wear. If you look into them find a pair that are mesh uppers. My podiatrist says those are the best because of keeping you feet dry. They are a bit pricey but Medicare will pay for them and special inserts that are molded to your foot.
All OK except the BAMA logo. Sorry but I just have to stick with the LSU Tigers🐅
And a podiadist is the route I’ll follow to get my diabetic shoes made and fitted by a professional. I had a ridiculously bad experience this week dealing with a place that used a podiatrist only for the initial fitting. I refused to do business with them.
@A DiabetesTeam Member Warren, Hey, I would refer you back to a Podiatrist. They asked me to bring in all the shoes I wear and I just learned that I am wearing all the wrong shoes. All my shoes are too big. AND none of them are diabetic shoes at all. What's up with that?. I've been going to the same place for years. My swelling issues are from lack of 36 lymph nodes from breast cancer surgery and nothing can be done for it. I'm praying it isn't getting infected after 29 years in remission, as the top of my feet under toes is red now. I tried a new filtered water solution but it made the swelling worse.
I have a new exercise bike and I like using it. Stays in one place for my occasional vertigo. I have a 32 inch Genisis (lime green)bike I am trying to sell. It's about 5 years old but not used and I have kept it indoors and it's still in like new condition.
Oh, It's also unisex, so either male or female can use it. If you live in Boise or Mountain Home just let me know. Have a great day everybody.
