A member asked:
What is considered severe foot fat pad atrophy? i was told the fat pads in my feet are 2 mm and i am very concerned as i am only 34 years old.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should get examined: 2 mm thickness sounds like a significant change. Are you having pain? Do you have a condition that can cause or worsen foot pad atrophy, like severe obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, high arched feet, diabetes with neuropathy, Morton's neuroma treated with local steroid injections? You should get this examined to assess your risks and treatment options.
