A member asked:
Is it ok to fracture a bone and still walk on it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes you can: Some people have no pain sensation due to neuropathy (diabetes..) could fracture bone and walk because they will not feel the pain. Charcot arthropathy occurs as a complication of diabetes, syphilis, chronic alcoholism, leprosy, meningomyelocele, spinal cord injury, syringomyelia, renal dialysis, and congenital insensitivity to pain.
