A member asked:
I am 34 yrs old and just diagnosed with fat pad atrophy throughout my feet. the ultrasound tech said my loaded heel fat pads were 2mm-how severe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well below norm: A heel fat pad thickness by ultrasound of 3 mm is two standard deviations below the average normal for adults. This means that 2 mm is thinner than 95% of the average, healthy adult population. Severity is related to clinical symptoms such as pain and/or neuropathy.
