Suggest Cure For Pain In The Feet
I am experiencimng pain in both of my feet,....bottoms,top, toes, ankles and heels. I am not a diabetic. However, I was diagnosed with Lupus about 20 years ago and am in remission. I was told that Lupus can cause hairline fractures in one s feet. The pain is intense after I walk daily or on my feet for awhile. I am fairly activate and have been retired a year and don t want to stop walking daily . Would liketo begin working out a my local sport club, but my ankles feel as though they will break and my heels hurt awfully. I had spine surgery 11/2014 and am doing excellently. Had pain in feet before then but thought would stop agter spine surgery. HELP

Hello,
Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, diabetic neuropathy is in the tissue and nerves and the fractures are in the bone.
The neuropathy has a different type, location, timing than fracture. Obviously, the medications are different from nerve pills for nerves and anti-inflammatories for fracture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
