A member asked:
Is it common to have constant pain in my right foot in type 1 diabetic?

Diabetic foot pain: It is. You should see a podiatrist and have a neurologic exam to see if you have diabetic neuropathy.

Many possibilities: Pain in that area could be due to trauma (fracture, tendon or ligamentous tear, arthritis), infection, inflammation, metabolic conditions (gout) musculoskeletal (bony over growth) or biomechanical abnormality, or neurologic conditions (neuropathy). A thorough history and physical exam and possibly laboratory and radiology exams could determine the cause. Have it evaluated by a professional.
