If your doctor told you that you have neuropathy, this doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s diabetic neuropathy. Neuropathy can be present without you being diabetic.
Can I suggest you read the following Fact Sheet on peripheral neuropathy … which is the type of neuropathy that’s present in your toes. It gives details of some of the other conditions that can cause this type of neuropathy.
Can I also suggest that you ask your doctor why you’ve got it, what the implications are, and how it can be treated. This is what your doctor is paid for.
Did a Dr. tell you that you have Diabetic Neurapathy? I would get this checked out. I have Neurapathy but I also have type 2 Diabetes.I don’t know how long I had Diabetes before I was diagnosed but my toes and legs bothered me along time before and I have nerve damage to my fingers.
Not necessarily. Neuropathy doesn’t mean it’s caused by diabetes. It’s simply a condition in the nerves of your body and could have many causes.
Time to get a full physical with your doctor!
You can’t diagnose this through the internet. See a doctor and tell him or her your concerns. Yes, diabetic neuropathy is a condition that accompanies diabetes, but there are other things that could be causing your problem as well. On the other hand, if it IS diabetes, you need to know that NOW. If you like keeping that toe, that is.
Neuropathy without swelling and discoloration is usually associated with old injuries pressing on a nerve, stretching it at a fork in the nerves further down the line. This is a form of neuropathy called impingement syndrome. One of the most common forms is sciatica.
