For people with diabetes and their families, I’m sure they all know the saying – diabetes is not scary, it’s the complications that are scary. The purpose of why I keep giving you science is to make you aware of the seriousness of complications and to do early prevention and treatment. Today we are going to learn about the complication leg and foot pain. For example, there is this patient who has been using insulin injection therapy to control his blood sugar, but recently he has developed the symptoms of leg and foot pain. Why do diabetics have leg and foot pain? First, it is related to rheumatism and gout, etc. One of the typical symptoms of rheumatism and gout is pain, this situation needs to do targeted treatment for both. Second, overexertion. For each person excessive standing, walking, labor, etc. will have legs and feet and even body pain, this situation can generally be relieved after appropriate rest. Third, pain caused by osteoporosis. In general, osteoporosis early pain is light, to the middle and late pain is more powerful. For some older people, pain in the legs and feet is often related to this cause. Fourth, neuropathy. Pain is one of the typical symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, such as nerve damage, abnormal compression, etc. Pain can be felt. This condition must receive nerve-nourishing treatment to reduce the pressure on the nerves and relieve the symptoms. V. Vasculopathy. Diabetes breaks the glucose metabolism and endocrine balance, and after a series of complex physiological and biochemical reactions, one of the typical results is to cause atherosclerosis, stenosis or even occlusion of the arteries, causing painful symptoms. Early mild pain, aggravation develops into intermittent claudication, then continues to develop into resting pain, and so on in a progressive manner. Finally, to summarize, for the first three factors caused by pain, generally for the foot will not have much impact, but for the last two are early symptoms of diabetic foot, if not timely and effective treatment or the wrong method, the consequences will cause diabetic foot ulceration and infection, and face the risk of amputation. Causes, regardless of the cause, once the diabetic patient has leg and foot pain through symptoms, must promptly go to the hospital for examination to avoid missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.
