Question
ok i just recently had a chip fracture in my to and my feet haven't been right since. I cant sleep at night with the pain shooting through both feet not just the one but both. When i said something about it to the Dr at ER he said i might have shark foot. Well i have been looking it up and I am scared i might loose my feet. I cant find any answers online and can not go to the Dr with no insurance and no money. I need something to help me figure it out on my own. Just some kind of guide before i do go into debt to see a doctor.

This Chicago Podiatrist says.....

The shooting pain is due to your diabetes-it is neuropathy. You need to get it under control as soon as possible.Google a diet from the American Diabetes Association and then track down a clinic that provides care to the uninsured.Find a local chapter of the American Diabetes Association for additional help and info. Get help from the government if you qualify.
The Charcot foot is a direct result of the uncontrolled diabetes and the weight.You cannot figure this out on your own.Wear a boot and wrap in the meantime and protect the Charcot foot and GET the Diabetes UNDER CONTROL asap. A Charcot if not controlled may need surgery from a foot surgery expert.
Find a compassionate doctor who offers a sliding fee scale. The AnkleNFootCenter.com podiatrists see all patients who inform us up front that they have financial issues. We are in the business to provide care and then money.
Hope this helps!
Good Luck My Friend!
