Diabetes may cause foot pain. Diabetes causes foot pain, there may be two reasons. The first is diabetes caused by peripheral neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy patients will be manifested as lower limb numbness, especially lower limb end symmetry numbness. Then some patients will be manifested as painful neuropathy, it will be manifested as lower limb pain. There is also a lower extremity vascular disease caused by diabetes, atherosclerosis of the lower extremities, and even arterial occlusion, which can be characterized by insufficient blood supply to the lower extremities, cold feet, weakened pulse of the dorsal artery of the foot, and possibly increased pain after walking, that is, intermittent claudication. It is recommended to improve the examination of electromyography and ultrasound of lower extremity arteries to determine whether peripheral neuropathy and lower extremity vascular disease caused by diabetes are caused.
