Suggest Treatment For Broken Foot With Charcot Disease
I have Charcot disease in my feet and wear special bracing boot type shoes. I fell this am and I am pretty sure my foot is broken. It feels asleep ever since I fell and hurts. Do I need to see a dr and get an ex- ray or just wear my shoes and stay off my foot?

Hello,
Charcot disease is a condition where you may not have much sensation in the foot or the joints and therefore they are at risk of increased injury.
Even with a fracture, you may not feel pain.
If you fell and now feel something is different, I would advise you to get an xray. Please be sure to have your previous xrays available for comparison. That would better enable the doctor to see if there is a new fracture.
Get well soon.
