Why Check Your Feet Everyday?
- You may have serious foot problems, but feel no pain from them. As we discussed earlier, you may have nerve damage which can cause numbness which will stop you from feeling anything. So you may have a blister, or cut, or sore and not even know it.
- Check for cuts, sores, red spots, swelling, blisters, infected toe nails. Find a convenient time for you. Evening before bed is the best. Make checking your feet a daily habit. How d you do that. Do it every day for 30 days without missing a day. It will become a habit. Yes, some habits are good.
- If you have trouble bending over to see your feet, use a plastic mirror. Another alternative is to ask a family member, or care giver to help you.
Tip: If you have a cut, bruise, sore or blister on your foot that does not begin to heal after one day, CALL YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY.
