Charcot neuro-arthropathy?

Anyone here heard of Neuro-arthropathy? I have had this disease in my Left foot now for over a year. The pain and swelling have not subsided. They have casted, made special made shoes, braces. and etc. My question is, will my foot every get better? At times, I can hardly walk on my foot. What will I do? I have to work, and the job I do, requires standing.

Charcot neuro-arthropathy?
My Dad has the same problem. My dad also has a job requiring him to stand on his feet all day. Have they tried nerve blocks and/or facets? They are not a permanent cure. They need to be done every 3 months (give or take). They work amazingly. I have the procedure done on my C-Spine and my dad for his foot. Seek a reputable Pain Management doctor in your area. Best of luck to you.

Reply:Charcot joints are chronic, and they will probably need to be fused so that you can walk on them in the future.
