I m a long time diabetic and suffer from the hot knives feeling but recently on right side of my right foot under my toes, is what looks like a divot or dimple. The foot doesn t appear overly swollen but it sure hurts like heck. Sometimes it happens on the left foot too, but not usually. Any ideas?
HiT hank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to diabetic polyneuropathy. Neurotrophic Chat Doctor.  Also make sure that your blood sugar is well controlled. In case there is no improvement nerve conduction study should be carried out to rule out any nerve compression. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.
