Diabetic. Have Sharp Pain On Feet With Blisters, Sore Calf Muscles And Have High BP. Suggest?

I am Dr.Omer and I am here to help you with your query.
As you have said that you have blisters on your feet , known hypertensive and diabetic.
Yes in patients with diabetes or new-onset diabetes can develop cellulitis (skin infection) and blisters on the feet.
A newly diagnosed diabetics and in those who have poorly controlled diabetes are more prone for staphylococcal infection of the feet. Since you have blisters on the feet I suspect that the your blood sugar might not be well controlled through out the day. Therefore it would be worthwhile to visit the nearest ER. The doctors at the ER can verify your sugar levels and start relevant antibiotics for the same.
The pain around the calf muscle and super-sensitive skin around the thigh area is due to the blisters on your feet. Note that your blood pressure and the medications you are using for diabetes have nothing to do with these blisters.
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any further questions.
Take care


Thankyou for writing back.
So first you just had sharp pain in that area , and then after some time blister formed.
In diabetics usually the infection is deep seated , meaning arising from subcutaneous area of feet with nothing visible on the skin and then after few days it appears on the skin as blisters.
Secondly Peripheral neuropathy in people who have high blood sugar or poorly controlled sugar , due to imbalance in diabetes glucose by-products start to accumulate in the body , nerves and this causes abnormal signalling from these nerves , especially hand and feet , to check nerves you need to do a rehabilitation doctor.
The culprit in both the causes is poorly controlled sugar , so we need to address this problem on priority.
Hypertension is NOT the cause of blisters or sharp pain in your feet , long standing hypertension can cause weak heart and that inturn causes swelling of entire leg and feet due to oozing of water from the veins.
I would also suggest that you should get your feet reviewed by a surgeon for deep seated infection.And not to wear closed shoes and with regular self feet examination as well.
Dont worry just follow what I said , and your problem will be solved.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
