Treatment for diabetic neuropathy
Symptoms
There are four main types of diabetic neuropathy. You may have one or more types of neuropathy. Symptoms depend on the type you have and the nerves affected. In general, symptoms develop gradually. You may not notice that something is wrong until significant nerve damage has occurred.
Peripheral neuropathy
This type of neuropathy may also be called distal symmetric peripheral neuropathy. It is the most common type of diabetic neuropathy. It first affects the feet and legs, followed by the hands and arms. Signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy generally worsen at night. They include the following:
- Numbness and reduced ability to feel pain or sense changes in temperature
- Tingling or burning sensation
- Cramps or stabbing pains
- Muscle weakness
- Extreme sensitivity to touch (for some people, even contact with the sheets can be painful)
- Serious foot problems, such as ulcers, infections, and damage to the bones and joints
Treatment for Leg Lymphedema
Lymphedema is swelling in an arm or leg. In exceptional circumstances, it affects both arms or both legs. It can also affect the chest wall and abdomen.
When you should see a doctor
Make a medical appointment with your doctor if you notice persistent swelling in your arms or legs. If you have already been diagnosed with lymphedema, see your doctor if there is a sudden and significant increase in the size of the affected limb.
Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of lymphedema include the following:
- Swelling of all or part of the arm or leg, including the toes and fingers
- A feeling of heaviness or tightness
- Limited range of motion
- Recurrent infections
- Hardening and thickening of the skin (fibrosis)
Bunion Care & Treatment
What are bunions?
A relatively common but bothersome and unattractive deformity is the famous bunion. We offer bunion surgery, a procedure known as a “bunionectomy,” which realigns the toe and removes the bony bump.
Bunions are more common in women than in men and in people born with abnormal bones, so the problem may be hereditary, but it is not impossible to correct for Dr. Gustavo, a specialist in diabetic foot care, vascular and endovascular surgery, circulatory diseases, and varicose veins in Tijuana. Request a consultation and discover the best option for you.
Treatment for Corns & Care
It is also known as a soft corn and usually appears on the sole of the foot, generally between the fourth and fifth toes. If you notice a small, callused, inflamed bump that causes pain.
Because they are contagious, they spread quickly, cause discomfort and may even be painful, and are unsightly, it is recommended to begin treatment as soon as they appear. Ideally, you should seek care promptly. Ask us about the treatment that is best for you.
Treatment for Ingrown Toenails
When the edge of a toenail grows into the skin, it can cause inflammation, pain, and discomfort when walking or wearing certain shoes. If left untreated, it can cause an infection.
This condition is relatively common among people who participate in activities such as athletic running or dancing, but it is easy to treat if you see a medical specialist.
Treatment for Fungal Nails
Toenail fungus is also known as onychomycosis. It is caused by organisms called dermatophytes and yeasts, which thicken the nail, change its color, and weaken it until, in severe cases, it comes off the foot completely.
They can affect both the nail and the skin underneath it. A fungal infection is easy to recognize with the naked eye. Cultures are not required for diagnosis. In cases of onychomycosis, the nail usually develops yellow and/or white streaks caused by debris that accumulates beneath or around the nail.
It is important to address it because, in addition to cosmetic concerns, its appearance can make the area sensitive, cause pain, and consequently affect the daily activities of the person experiencing the problem.
If the nails are not treated, the fungus can spread to other nails and even beyond them. Aside from their appearance, healthy nails are an indication of good health. Dr. Gustavo has the treatment best suited to you.
