Any suggestions?
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what is causing Trevor’s
feet and legs to hurt so bad. He cant even make it through walmart,
he always ends up in the cart. I feel so bad, hes only 5yr old he
shouldnt be in so much pain when hes so young. Any suggestions on
the cause. I know diabetes can cause sore feet,guess I didnt know it
effected small children in this way.

Hi, Krankee,
I am no expert, by any means, on a 5 year old’s feet. But, since he is so young, and neuropathy is highly unprobably at that age, I would maybe think along other lines of seeing what is bothering his little tootsies. An orthopedic doc may be of some assistance. Try starting with your pediatrician first, for they sometimes put their finger right on it when it has perplexed me to no end.
Here is just a small idea….. Has he ever seen an adult complain of sore legs/feet when shopping? What a wonderful, and, for a 5 year old, creative way of getting out of Walmart!
Please, I do not mean to make light of the situation. But I also have 3 kids who get very creative when there is something THEY don’t want to do.
Painful legs is something to have a doc see, though.
Regards,
Joan

Hello Folks,
I did a quick new POLL re: how long you’ve had diabetes. : /
BEFORE, pretty please, before anyone fills this thing out, just take
a look and see if I’ve make any mistakes in terms of contexts, or
the way I wrote this…. is it too hard to read/figure out…
somehow?!
Please nobody fill this out, not yet!!!!
look, make sure I did this “right”.) If you find anything let me
know publically or privately and I’ll correct it, if I’m able.
(I can still edit it PROVIDED nobody has filled anything out for it,
if you do and THEN I edit… your information goes bye-bye. I’d like
to prevent that.)
Thank You,
Jeff

Hi
i am new here i am kinda a corss between type one and two. it was funy my
docotr when i saw him today had to fill out a form work comp saying what
type of dibetes i have and he wanst sure here is what happond i am wondering
if there is any one else out there that has had this. i was admited to the
hosptiel jan 22 for a staph infection due to a work injury I was a bk
amputee blelow knee from a car wreak. well i got hurt at work and fell and
jamed a pecie of metel into my stump. and i pulled it out and i was still
having problims so saw my doc who sent me to the ortho doc and he went in
and found a peice of metel still in there. so he pulled it out. and we still
had draning and fevros and such so he diedced to go back in and celan it out
again and leave it open for a week well every thign was gona good and we
thought we got it licked and we went back to surgery and clsoed and about 4
days later i woke up in the midel of the night throwing up and feeling like
hell it the call buten to callt he nurse. and got about three words out and
passed out the nurse hit the code butten and graben the bp machone and it
wouldnt read she then grabed the manuel cough and my bp was 40 over 5 and it
got lowetr the next time she read it. By this time the hole code team was
there and she said to mask up becuse there is somthignwtih the infection
becuse i feel like i am buring up and tok my tmep and i was 104 point
somthing almost 105 well they got flueds pumping drugs pumping and got me to
icu. i was semi comotose for abotu 5 days with low blood preusre and major
orgian fauler becuse of septic shock when i woke up they told me they have
been having to give me inslunce becuse my bllod sugers was bouncing all over
while i wa sout of it but she said don’t woory about it becuse we have fed
you with iv food and that has lots of suger and could be cuasing it. well
the trasnfed me back to surgerical so i can get well ebough for surgery to
become an ak becuse the infection was in the bone and feeding the blood.
well we had surgery the next day and my sugers were still boucing but they
said once we get you off the iv food it shoudls triged out well a week alter
they took me off that and got me onto semi rela food hopsitel food well my
sugers were still boucning and they called in an expert who said well maby
it is the suger in the iv flied so put me on suger free iv flued well no
luck so they got me up and exerisng still no luck. so there conclusion is
when my blood prsure was low for all those days it killed the pancress they
no the liver had shut down duiring that and the pancress and the liver share
the smae bllood supley. so at least i ma a live but i Have sufferd some
amjor probs from the server shock.

That’s no fun……I’ve been stressing over my sugars again. They’re not *too* high, but they’re not making sense again. I’ve made some adjustments, but I hate having to wait to see the results. Besides that, I am having such a salt craving that it is not funny. So what did the phone company mess up this time? I had a time when they were trying to charge me $10-20 for an online “adult” service that we weren’t using…..took 4 months to get it straightened out. We were living in an apartment building at the time & we think somebody was tapping into our service. What a pain!
