charcot
by: glenda on Thu, May 15 2008

I had charcot for a few years before I even knew what charcot was. It was only thru an MRI that my doctor knew what was causing the severe pain in both my feet. I was immediately told to stay in bed off my feet for abut 6 weeks. Wearing a boot cast on my right foot. There should be info on TV for people to be made aware of this disease for those who are not on the web. I was very scared afraid to lose my foot or even both feet. I now wear diabetic shoes and trying to keep sugar in balance which is very hard to do.
