Diabetic Foot Pain – Symptoms, Causes & Treatments

Foot Pain

Some occasional cramping or discomfort in your feet might be normal, particularly after long walks in a new pair of sandals or shoes. However, constant pain might be a clear sign of diabetic foot pain. In most cases, it feels burning with intermittent electrics. The pain often gets worse during the night when you are sleeping. When the condition progresses, your pain receptors can be so sensitive that it would be unbearable to cover your feet with blankets. While taking painkillers or OTC drugs might give you temporary relief, it is better to take other medical treatments to deal with the underlying conditions. [2]
