Charcot Foot

[little brentwood]

I have charcot foot and I'm a diabetic. I'm in the final phases of the Charcot. For 7-8 months I've
had adema and a deep wound on my ankle which is finally closing now.

I need complete reconstruction on my left foot as I have a rocker coming out of the bottom, my
foot is coming off It's own platform as it is shifted inward about a one and one-half inches and
last my ankle bone is shifted about the same and pointed towards the floor.

It's not the surgery I'm worried about. I have P.A.D. REFLUX. Anotherwards I have no probllem
with blood flow down. I just can't pump the blood back up.

Needless to say my circulation is extremely bad in my feet and I easily get adema.

Everyone (other doctors) are worried about heeling and me losing my foot.

HAS ANYONE EVER HEARD ABOUT THIS OR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

I don't have the P.A.D. REFLUX but my foot is in pretty bad shape. in my case the Talus bone disintegated. As a result my foot is turning on its side. I am about to start walking on my tibia. My foot is also off its platform. I need surgery as well. If successful it will basically save my foot from being amputated but I will be left with a fused ankle and a life wearing a crow boot. No normal shoes, little to no activity, mobility issues, etc.
