Question 1

how many years will i have to take diabetic foot medication?

Accepted Answer

Diabetic foot: Your question is not specific enough for me to answer. With diabetic feet you can receive medications to help with infections (antibiotics), the neuropathy (if painful), or the arteries (to help keep the blood from being sticky).

Question 2

what medication will help with diabetic foot pain?

Accepted Answer

Too broad a question: It depends on what you are focussing on - the cause of the diabetic foot pain or the symptom itself or both.

This is too broad of a question to answer because the first thing that has to be determined is how well controlled is the diabetes.  Treating the pain is treating the symptom but the cause of the pain may be related to the damage to the nerves caused by the disease.

Question 3

please answer! what medications would help with diabetic foot pain?

Accepted Answer

Identify the cause: Neuropathy is a condition resulting from abnormal nerve function. Neuropathy can be due to certain vitamin deficiencies, nerve damage due to trauma, alcohol consumption, radiation, side effects of certain medications, or due to certain medical conditions such as diabetes.  Treatment varies depending on the cause of the problem.  Have it evaluated and appropriately treated.

Question 4

i have pad and a diabetic foot ulcer, i have been taking percocet 10mg/325 but it does not relieve the pain very long, what type of pain medication and how many mg will help me stay pain free through the day?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: You need to get the blood vessels open and circulating blood to the areas that are lacking blood and are anoxic and ulcerated.

Try nattokinase 3 pills 2 times a day taken on an empty stomach . See a doctor who does chelation therapy to clear the toxins in your body and restore circulation. Then the pain may go away without the narcotics.
