what is the diabetic neuropathy medication for the foot and leg which i think start with the letter " M"?

---

someone please give me the answer cause I know someone has the problem are no someone that does
Mecobalamin (a special vitamin B12 ) Coupled with a anti-depressant
And of course a pain killer. Not tyenol with codeine, Something stronger. I take Tramadol . A non-addictive form of opiate.

Heres what I took:: Tegretol. Mecobalamin. Tramadol. It worked. I still take the Mecobalamin.

One study suggests that once absorbed, methylcobalamin may be retained in the body better than cyanocobalamin.[

Good Luck  (+ info)

Can extracorporeal shock wave therapy aid in diabetic neuropathy of the foot?

---

Above answer has the right idea. Maintaining a healthy blood sugar level isn't that hard, and I've heard of cases where neuropathy was reversed by getting healthy. I would work on that before I tried some electronic gadget that probably won't do a thing but get a chunk of your money. The stuff I've done works. Check out my bloodwork chart and see: http://www.geocities.com/seabulls69/Type_II_Diabetes.html  (+ info)

What is the cause of diabetic foot?

---

Please don't answer 'diabetes'. i knew that.

simple words is very welcomed.
poor circulation caused by damage that high sugar causes to the small blood vessels results in any wounds or issues on the feet not being able to heal normally. also the poor blood flow eventually kills the nerves so injuries may not be noticed for some time making them worse.  (+ info)

Diabetic Nan who takes Warfrin daily, now got an Ulcer on foot?

---

She's been more or less bed ridden for ages, she's finally spoke up about a sore place on her heel, she went to GP yest and he said its the beginning of an ulcer.
It is not infected and the skin is not yet broken.
Is Mepore dressing the best option? is it possible to get it healed before it becomes a horribly serious problem?
Anyone had experience ? Im worried, any advice greatfully received.
Compression is best but it is not available at all hospitals or clinicws as the nurses have to have special training  (+ info)

Which is best for a diabetic injured fswollen foot hot or cold?

---

this is an interesting question. In general with injuries you would but cold on for the first 24 to 48hours, becasue cold causes the blood vessels to constrict causing less blood flow so then less inflammation, Heat applied in the beginning would cause increased bloodflow and increased inflammation. how long have you been diabetic, do you already have decreased blood flow to the extremeties? does the injury include broken skin,, that is the major risk with diabetic, broken skin and infection, with a diabetic there is usually decreased bloodflow to the feet and poor circulation and increased risk for infection. so there for depending on your health, and risk for infection (broken skin)

cold then warm in a day or two.  (+ info)

I am a diabetic. I accidental hit my foot under the treadmill. My foot has been swollen for ten days.?

---

I can not get my foot to go down. I have been to two doctors. I was told by them it would go down in a week. I have tried soaking my foot in epson salt. My foot got larger, I soaked it in apple cider vinegar. No change. I do go to work Monday -Friday. Help my feet is hurt if I put anything on it other then a sock. HELP HELP HELP
I would keep going to different doctors until I found one who cared enough to actually X-ray the foot and see what's wrong. Now you know why doctors merely practice their trade while the rest of us professionals excel at it.

As far as this statement goes, "Diabetics are so prone to infections and you know they do not heal well". That only applies to diabetics who don't manage their blood sugar well. I am a diabetic but I'm not prone to infections and I heal quickly.  (+ info)

Diabetic & have a swollen left foot due to 'Charcot foot', does it eventually go away..?

---

My Podiatrist said my left foot is going through the 'Charcot foot' process; the foot is always warm & it has been swollen for about a year now -and just wanted to know if the swelling eventually goes away (a lot of my shoes are really tight on the left foot).
Probably not on its own. If you can keep it elevated it might help it go down, but as soon as you quit it will probably swell up again.

Charcot foot doesn't get better on its own. Sometimes surgery is needed, but not for swelling.

Try to keep your feet up as much as you can.

Keep your blood sugar under better control. High blood sugar damaged the nerves and blood vessels in the feet and all through the body. This is what leads to Charcot Foot in the first place.

You can't reverse the damage, but you might be able to slow it down if you get your blood sugar under better control.

According to this website, you might need a cast to help reduce the swelling and allow the bones to heal. It depends on how much damage there is. I think you need to see a specialist.

I'm diabetic and my two of my toes on the same foot are turning blue. One of the nails is turning yellow.

---

When I bend my toe slightly, my foot starts to go numb, should I go to the hospital, the doctor, or just do nothing?? I haven't stubbed it, and I wear white socks, so it's not bruised or dye.
If you have an endocrinologist, go and see them! Otherwise you may need to see a vascular surgeon.
These are signs of peripheral neuropathy and can be very serious.
I URGE you to see a doctor. But DO NOT DO NOTHING!  (+ info)
