@SusanEllen66 Hi there thank you so much for replying I have been seeing all these reports on the internet most of them are trying to sell to people with neuropathy I was truly hoping these were just scare
Tactics but some were people like Dr Oz and Dr Phil but I don’t know anyone I could ask so you helped me by reassuring me I am sorry you are dealing with this also I have quite a few medical issues so as fellow neuropathy patient it nice to talk. To someone who understands!!! Thank you again!

Hello and chiming in not to scare you but expand a bit on your question.
Neuropathy where you cannot feel your feet thus not feeling injuries can lead to ulcers, infections and to a condition called Charcot foot which can lead to amputations. I think Charcot foot is more common in diabetic neuropathy but do know neuropathy can cause it as well. Charcot foot is rare. I do have diabetes and sensorimotor polyneuropathy and have been told of the risk from my podiatrist (which I then googled for more info) so thought I would chime in. I’m at risk for it (Charcot foot or neuropathic osteoarthropathy) due to diabetes and sensory loss in my feet.
