Will you be able to reverse Pre Diabetes/ Borderline diabetes foot pain? If you are pre diabetic it means that the high blood sugar may start to do some really bad things to the body. I always tell the diabetic to try to reverse this fast as permanent damage can be done to the body. The eyes,kidney and legs can all be lost with this illness. Remember that Pre diabetes/Borderline Diabetes foot pain is serious business. If you have full diabetes the damage can spread faster as more bad glucose is circulating longer in the body

The nerves are small and thin but when they go they bring pain. When the nerves are losing the fight, there will be symptoms such as tingling in the toes. There may be numbness in the legs and feet. When numbness sets in, it is a danger sign that the foot may be lost. At this point a reversal of the blood sugar is critical. These are small warning signs of a coming bigger problem. The main problem is that since the nerves are so small once they have become damaged they are nearly impossible to reverse. Pre Diabetes or Borderline Diabetes foot pain is serious since diabetic nerve damage is almost impossible to repair. It is a must to remove this high glucose out the body as naturally and fast

From experience I can tell you that there are no diabetes medications that can reverse this nerve damage. It is best to try to cure this naturally and bring the nerves back to life. This is the oly way the pain will leave. It is important that I mention that recently 2 more diabetes medications were removed from the market due to the damage it was doing to the heart. I do not know how so doctors can still prescribed this dangerous drugs. It is best to treat Pre Diabetes or Borderline Diabetes foot pain and all diabetic problems naturally

Finally though there is some encouraging news, there is a diet that has been helping the little nerves in the foot to regrow. It helps remove the pain in the foot of the diabetic

nerve pain from increased pressure = tarsal tunnel syndrome

Tibial Nerve Decompression in Patients with Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome: Pressures in the Tarsal, Medial Plantar, and Lateral Plantar Tunnels. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 124 (4), 1202-1210.

Scientific Literature Reviews
This article evaluates the pressure in the tarsal, medial plantar, and lateral plantar tunnels with the foot in various positions in patients with tarsal tunnel sydrome before and after surgical release of the tunnel roofs and inter-tunnel septum.

Methods:
Ten patients with tarsal tunnel syndrome underwent tibial nerve decompression for this study. Using an IntraCompartmental Pressure Monitor System, the tarsal, medial plantar, and lateral plantar tunnel pressures were measured before and after surgical release of the roof of each tunnel and the intertunnel septum. Each of these measurements was taken with the foot in neutral, dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, pronation, supination, and pronation with plantarflexion. The average of three readings in each position in every tunnel was recorded. An identical study was done on tweleve cadaveric models to compare these results with those of symptomatic patients.

Results:
Of the six foot positions tested, significantly higher pressures were found in the medial plantar (by 24 mmHg) and lateral plantar (by 26 mmHg) tunnels during pronation and all three tunnels had significantly higher pressures during pronation with plantarflexion compared to the neutral position. The pressure during pronation in the tarsal tunnel was significantly lower than with pronation with plantarflexion. Decompression of each tunnel significantly decreased the pressure in all positions except neutral where (p=0.01) Excision of the septum led to a further decrease in the medial and lateral plantar tunnel pressures during pronation. Although cadaveric models had similar pressure readings as the patients, the lateral plantar tunnels during pronation were significantly higher in symptomatic patients.

Conclusions:
This study demonstrates the need to release the tarsal, medial plantar, and lateral plantar tunnels and the intertunnel septum when performing a tibial nerve decompression in order to reduce the pressure in each compartment. Since the pressure is greatest at pronation or pronation and plantarflexion in each tunnel, it is suggested to control the amount of pronation, through custom orthoses, post operatively or as a non-operative treatment.

Dr. Werber at InMotion foot and ankle treats this problem with minimal incision surgery, quick recovery, good outcomes and will everything possible to treat the patients without surgery if at all possible.
