Can Severe Neuropathic Arthropathy Cause Infection In Foot?

can severe neuropathy with charcot in both feet cause infection in the foot, ankle and leg bones. My charcot is active now, Dr. stabzlized my right foot in an air cast boot yesterday, but the pain is so bad it feels like it is deep in my bones from my big toe, across my foot, and all the way up my right leg, especially in my ankle and knee, plus my whole foot. What can I do now. The only thing I am taking is a baby asprin daily and tramadol, 2 4 times daily.

Hello, thank you for your contact to healthcaremagic. If I am your doctor I suggest you that neuropathy cause pain in some area and analgesia in some area, so while walking at the area where analgesia you receive injury. This injury gradually takes the place of ulcers reaching bone. Air cast shoe is the god treatment option for you, treatment you are receiving is also a good one.
If you have to ask me anything you can contact me. Dr Arun Tank. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
