π₯ Warm, swollen, or red foot with little pain?
This may be Charcot Foot, a serious condition affecting people with neuropathy or diabetes.
Because neuropathy reduces pain sensation, injuries often go unnoticed. Over time, this leads to:
β’ Bone weakening
β’ Joint collapse
β’ Severe foot deformity
β’ High risk of ulcers & infection
Warning signs:
β Sudden warmth in the foot
β Rapid swelling
β Redness or inflammation
β Reduced pain due to nerve damage
Early diagnosis is essential. When treated promptly, Charcot progression can be controlled to protect the foot and prevent permanent damage.
