I am dealing with Charcot arthropathy and peripheral neuropathic problems, but I have no pain in my foot. What should I do?
Asked by Male, 45 · 3 months ago
In Charcot arthropathy, especially when peripheral neuropathy is present, it is common to have little or no pain, even when there is significant joint or bone damage. This makes careful monitoring essential to prevent fractures, deformities, or ulcers. You should consult a doctor or foot specialist regularly, use protective footwear or orthotic devices as recommended, and avoid activities that put excessive stress on the foot. Early detection and proper management, even without pain, are key to preventing complications and maintaining foot health.
