Medications
There are many drug options to alleviate diabetic foot pain. To relieve painful sensations, your doctor would prescribe some OTC painkillers, such as ibuprofen, aspirin, or acetaminophen. However, they would cause some side effects, so it is better to use a low dose and follow your doctor’s instructions. In some cases, antidepressants can also help in interfering with some chemicals making you feel pain. When the condition progresses, opioids tend to be the last resort to help you go through excruciating pain. However, they shouldn’t be used for long-term relief due to the possible risks of addiction. [13]
