Diabetes and the Morton’s Toe

http://whyyoureallyhurt.com/mortons-toe/diabetes-2/

The purpose of this section is to explain how a Morton’s Toe specifically affects those patients with Diabetsis.

As I write about in Why You Really Hurt: It All Starts In The Foot, diabetics’ are often misdiagnosed with having a serious complication known as  Peripheral Neuropathies of the feet  when in reality they have nothing more than a simple Morton’s Toe problem.   Both of these problems can cause burning on the toes and the balls of the feet.  The average physician is not aware of what a Morton’s Toe is, and if a diabetic patient tells him, or her that their feet hurt or burn they will often assume this burning is due to diabetic neuropathies. This is very troublesome to me because it is very important for the patient to get the proper treatment.  If you truly have peripheral neuropathies because of diabetsis than you should be taking specific medications to treat it. The only thing worst than not taking this proper medications, is taking it when it is not needed, and not treating the Morton’s Toe problem when it needs to be treated.

The other problem associated with Morton’s Toe and diabetics is in regard to the development of ulcer.

Many non diabetics will develop callous on the balls of their feet from having Morton’s Toe. But if you are a diabetic this callous can easily turn into an ulcer because if you have poor circulation and or nerve problems from your diabetsis the skin on the bottom of your foot can break down causing an ulcer. The good news is that this is simply preventable with the Toe Pad.

During my career, I have written alot about Diabetes.  In fact, if you go to the resource page you will find a section that has 400 diabetic links that I have obtained.
