from personal experience i can validate what Mrs. D is saying. My legs and ankles are very numb and i have broken many toes and sprained and broken my ankles many times. I was tested for charcot foot since the orthopedist thought it was a possibilty because of all the breaks and sprains. I had bone scans done and this was not the case but it put a scare into me and i try to baby myself a little more than i used to.
