It's about truly living." - Dr. Allma Medical Terminology Explained: Bilateral Charcot foot is a severe condition affecting both feet, caused by peripheral neuropathy, often from diabetes. Nerve damage prevents pain, leading to unnoticed injuries, fractures, and joint dislocations, causing foot deformity. Symptoms: red, hot, swollen feet (may mimic infection), loss of sensation, rocker bottom deformity, and ulcers in later stages. Though rare, it's more disabling when both feet are affected. Causes: Mostly poorly controlled diabetes, also spinal injuries, alcoholism, and neurological diseases. If untreated, it can cause infection and amputation. Treatment: Immobilization, no weight-bearing, custom footwear, and surgery if needed.   *If you're an organ transplant recipient and would like to share your story on The Seeds of Transformation Podcast, let's connect!   GET YOUR COPY TODAY: "Exodus to Unity - Bridging the Gap Between the Traditional Christians and Millennials" available instore and online at Barnes and Noble Booksellers.   SPEAKING, RESOURCES & COLLABORATION:  Connect and learn more about Dr. Allma Johnson — www.drallma.com Podcast Music: by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Onedose Producti⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ons⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (all rights reserved), for questions and pricing information contact here.
