Query:
Dear Sir
I got your email and contact via your blog. I am writing to you from Mumbai, and the query is regarding severe pain in the soles of my father Mr. Pankaj Pandya
Currently he is taking Glycomet GP 2 for his diabetes, and is on a relatively modest diet. Plus has hyper tension as well.
His blood sugar levels keep fluctuating from 130-170 (fasting) and 170-220 (post food). However despite the medicines and rest, he suffers from severe pain in both his feet, especially his soles.
The pain is of a constant burning sensation and cramps, which makes it difficult for him to walk or even stand for a short duration. Despite wearing comfortable soft cushioned foot ever, the problem still continues.
I would request you to kindly give your suggestions on the possible causes, and the remedies. And if you have a branch or centre in Mumbai - then we could go there with the detailed reports.
Thanks and regards
Sagar Pandya
Answer:
Good Evening Mr.Pandya,
The sole-stirring problems of your "sweet" father may be due to Diabetes itself causing peripheral vascular disease, compromising blood circulation or Diabetic Neuropathy. The other causes may be Thyroid deficiency, Raynaud's disease, Calcanial Spur to mention a few among the possibilities.
He may need a better control of his Diabetes, Hypertension, PVD, Quitting Smoking (if he smokes) with proper lifestyle changes. He may need a test for Neuropathy (Bio-Thesiometry), Circulation, Vascular Doppler, Vascular Profile (VP) test (read my article), and even angiography. Please consult your Physician for further instructions.
yours truly,
Dr.Ravindranath
