I Have Pain In The Center Of My Foot Near My Toes Inspite Of My Diabetes
I have pain in the center of the bottom of my foot near my toes. At first, I thought I had hurt my 3rd and 4th toe, but as I feel my foot there is a lump in the foot that I can feel from front to back. There is nothing visible. I am a diabetic, but check my feet daily.

Dear sir
Patient with long standing diabetes, have initially sensory neuropathy which is one of the microvascular complications.
It is associated with foot deformities like hammer toe and deformities which might pose risk for formation of ulcer.
Foot examination is must for every diabetes patients, every 6 months or yearly.
It is recommended for you to take foot scan imprintation followed with mechanical offloading using foot wear.
Periodical x rays will have greater role to play.
Thanks
