CHARCOT: A DIABETIC NIGHTMARE 😢😢😢

[@lauranglover521]

Thanks to the patient who was kind enough to be an example for education! Bless him! Bless the doctor who is a natural educator!

[@rogermckenzie6479]

As a diabetic who's had Charcot incidents in the past, I greatly appreciate the fact that you tell it exactly like it is. Excellent advise...I hope the patient heeds it 100%.

lots of diabetes on both parents side of families. i knew it would get me one day. i have had it for 20 yrs now. I never go barefoot or wear shoes without socks. i have depression ,sleep apnea,acid reflux& almost all the side effects of diabetes. i am 73 5'11"&185lbs. i have worn same size pants over 30yrs. i check my feet every nite &watch carbs 24-7 NEVER EAT DESERTS or corn. real challenge but i don't want any amputations. so many times once they start they never stop. diabetes can KILL. good luck

[@honeybadger1621]

hello did you broken your leg?

[@marthawelsh7269]

I have a friend who developed Charcot foot related to adult onset diabetes. He was very sick because of it, and ultimately had two below-the-knee amputations.

[@rogermckenzie6479]

@@marthawelsh7269 As you know all too well, Charcot is not to be taken lightly. Best of wishes to you and your friend.

[@arfer78]

Thank you for being so direct here. I just had my 4th foot surgery in three years. Second partial 5th metatarsal amputation and it has saved my foot. Even with my A1C at 7 I had this problem. People take care of your sugars and your feet.

[@Planner38]

Your blood sugar is still out of control if your AIC is 7. You need to eat a low carb diet and bring your blood sugar down into the normal range. In January 2020, my AIC was 7.3. By March April 2020, my AIC was 4.5. Over the past three years, the highest my highest A1C has been 5.0. Normally, my A1C is 4.9. I encourage you to do more to lower your A1C. The effort will definitely be worth it.

[@damomajanet]

[@KristineRoser-z2n]

Wow. Thank you for your compelling presentation of Charcot, and the amazing passion you have for your work. I am a 73 year old woman, with a lot of time on my hands (retirement!) and I watch a lot of these podiatry posts. You are the best teacher of them all, and communicate the utter EMERGENCY that exists for many of your patients. If anybody can make us aware of the real situation they are in, it is you. My own feet are fine, with one problem. When I was a young girl, I got a couple of plantar warts on my right foot. They were treated with radiation therapy, which mitigated the problem, but I was left with a sort of small callus that I file down every now and again. In my 30's, I ran 8 miles a day with no problem, and now have only a small amount of pain while walking. You have inspired me to show this foot to my excellent primary care doctor. Thank you Dr. Jaws!

[@Genie86333]

Great video. Love the frankness of your "If you walk on it, you'll lose your leg" comment. Was told something similar at my podiatrist's office ("Every step is a step toward a wheelchair and amputation" - with the added disclaimer that that also applied to AFTER the foot was stable, if not wearing appropriate footwear.) & while it was a shock to hear, it made me take it seriously.

[@sarahtheresa3311]

My father has type 2 diabetes and unfortunately developed a huge foot ulcer from stepping on a piece of metal. He was non-compliant and still walking on it, so it continued to get worse. He developed osteomyelitis and was sent to a surgeon who said, "EITHER YOU GET OFF OF YOUR FOOT, OR I WILL TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF OF YOU! He wasn't given a high chance of keeping his foot but he finally followed instructions and eventually fully healed. Sometimes patients need the unvarnished truth to realise what damage they are doing to their bodies by not following a doctor's treatment plan. I hope that your patient heals as successfully as my father did.

[@JAWSPODIATRY]

I applaud your capability of conveying such serious issues. As the patient said, "he's upset", and he's "under your care". Convey it wrongy and he will very quickly think that the issue is not his foor, it's you. Very subtle psychology. Ans rightfully so. No one wants his life changed for nothing, just because of one bad doctor. Hipe this man got the care he needed.

[@robertshurilla1954]

I’ve been dealing with this since Jan 2021. Bones healed after 4 months, 2 months later got a ulcer from the bony prominence, it got severely infected and had 2 major surgeries. This past May I had the bony prominence at the bottom removed, now I’m waiting for it to heal to be fitted with inserts and hopefully walk again, pay attention folks, it’s a life changer

I wished my podiatrist spoke to me like this eight years ago. I suffer from Charcot foot and it’s been hell to live with. If I knew then what I know now, I would be a lot better.

[@ruthm3813]

Really informative Dr. Wagner, and thanks to your patient for letting us in on his consultation and learn. He is at the best place and can look forward to being helped immensly. I felt sad when he said he felt depressed. Until I began watching here I had never heard of Charcots, and I was a trained nurse in the late 60's and 70's(I'm old) It is yet another reason to be vigilant with your diabetic care, and for the rest of us, do what we can to not become diabetic and not have to face these terrible issues.

Thank you ever so much. I am having a blast working through all the videos I’ve missed. You’re certainly the top educational channel and I love the level of detailed information that the patients get. Too often patients are treated as incidentals in their treatment and are spoken to in an incredibly patronising manner (as I recently discovered still happens) It’s amazing that the patient presented like this. I hope that the progression can be halted as it’s truly a catastrophic injury.

As a being diagnosed with Type 1 since 11 .. I was diagnosed with charcot right foot age 29 and 10 months later the left foot flared up.. and personally this patient in the video no way he felt that maybe little bit but not much.. I'm all for spreading the word and awareness! Yes I am thankfully walking on my own 2 feet today thanks to my amazing care team and doctors

[@juliebarnhart490]

The sad thing is that most doctors have no idea what this is and won't take it seriously. I have to argue with the hospital everytime my mom has a flare up.

Totally relate to what you said about fractures....I suffered a Jones Fracture last year and before I knew it was fractured I had to walk quite a bit just getting into the X-ray facility and my podiatrist office...it was painful. Your passion and excitement really grabbed my attention, I may have to go see google, would love to know more about Charcot.

[@brandynicholson1499]

Dr. Wagner, I know that you explained this all so well for me (at least we are going to let me think it) because I asked you recently about Charcot (and of coursed misspelled it, sharko, in my comment on purpose) and only have your channel to educate me, so I can be the feet and ankle know-it-all in my family. All kidding aside Doc, thank you for another informative and educating video. Reaching 45 this year, having a husband who ignores his feet and health in general, aging parents and step-parents, and 4 kids who I want to keep from being burdened by us all as long as possible, make videos like these what I believe is crucial information.

I have Charcot foot. I had my type 2 under control, then I got Covid at Thanksgiving last year. My diabetes went out of control. I had bronchitis, laryngitis, pneumonia, cellulitis(4 times in same leg). I had a hard time getting type 2 back under control. I had experienced some mild edema in my feet during this time. Wore flip flops to an event, that night my foot didn’t look right, looked extremely swollen and was hot. Podiatrist diagnosed me with Charcot. Wore a cam walker and worked from home. I now have a rocker bottom on the bottom of my foot. I am now wearing a CROW boot. This is my reality and I am so depressed. I am a 56 years old woman.

Dr. Wagoner I’m 50 year old male, type 2. Long history of gout. I have tried everything as far as diet. I’m convinced diet is NOT as big an effect on gout as it’s thought by the medical community. Stress, and lack of good solid sleep seem to be a huge trigger for gout. Incidentally, has a 13-year-old boy, I’d be walking in the mall or to school and my foot would get sore. Around the heel area not consistent with plantar fasciitis, however it felt like the beginning of plantar fasciitis. Similar to stepping on a round blunt rock barefoot. Age 31st full-blown gout attack. I have had extreme bouts with gout I have seen rheumatologist, podiatrist, orthopedic specialist and the list goes on. I recently had my 1st foot surgery. For four years almost 5 I had extreme burning pain on the right side or outside of my ankle, right foot, I work for the railroad and work on your regular surfaces all night every night. For 4 1/2 to 5 years after gout attack after going attack, I finally found a Doctor Who found out that I had ripped my peroneal tendon into pieces. It showed on the MRI is a partial thickness tear however When the surgeon opened me up he found a fall break. I have been walking like that for 4 to 5 years. The first metatarsal joint below my big toe has been a spot of Many gout attacks. The surgeon went in because the joint was just figured someone and he went in and cleaned up the joint also the big toe in the middle the joint had to be cleaned up. The surgeon told me I had gout in there however he does not elaborate and to be honest his bedside manner is very poor. I am very interested in that first metatarsal joint and the big toe as far as gout goes. I was wondering if you had any videos where you cleaned up the joint and not just tophi or the hard white gout but gout in the crystal stage and the causes of the gout on the joint? It is only my right foot but my ankle and my foot have really took a huge huge hit on my quality of life I’m always in pain with it, it’s weak, it feels like my ankle and foot is constantly sprained, and it has been like this for years and years as long as I can remember. I don’t know what to do I’ve seen so many doctors but I watch you on here and I just wish that you were close because I would be there in a flash. Your patients are very very very lucky to have such a skilled doctor but more importantly a good human being, a person who truly does care. I cannot express that enough. Your understanding, temperament, bedside manner is impeccable. Last but not least your parents i’ve got to be so proud of you not just because of your doctor status. Because of your heart. A wonderful person most likely a wonderful son, husband, and father, brother and the list goes on. I just want to say keep doing the videos are my favorite. Your an angel brother! I mean that. U help where just good doctors can’t! You have to be a great person with a great heart, to be a great Dr!

[@louisebayliss2261]

I too am a diabetic and 3 yrs ago I fractured my navicular bone in left foot. 6 months in a cast and boot and it looked like it was fixed but when I went to buy some trainers the owner of the shop recognised that my foot wasn't right it was very swollen do I went to see the hospital podiatrist and she instantly knew it was Charcot as my foot was 6.5' hotter. The Charcot was in the outside of foot from ankle to baby toe and the next toe. Fast forward 2yrs and my foot was in a bowler walker (excuse spelling) but foot was very painful and bones kept moving so surgeon operated and pinned and plated my big toe and plated the next 2 toes as the left side now had no bone structure left. I healed really well but unfortunately it looks like it is back and in my ankle due to the physio I was having so now I am back in my aircast boot 24hrs a day and in constant pain. I am one of the lucky ones as I never developed an ulcer on top of it all.

[@mildredwhite]

Is Charcot related to Charcot Marie Tooth syndrome? Because I was diagnosed with CMT about 10 years ago and it was explained to me as a form of muscular dystrophy. My feet are a freaking mess. Lots of issues walking.

[@trisia44]

This is an extremely interesting video. I'm curious to know if the Charcot you are referencing is related to Charcot Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease. My daughter, new 23, has an extremely high arch, severe foot drop, and hammer toes. Testing twelve years ago were inconclusive, which is mind-boggling to me. Her fingers are a lot like her toes. She cannot straighten them or cup her hands without assistance. I'm concerned that she may have complications from her foot and toe shapes later in life. The trouble is, I cannot seem to locate the correct specialty for this. Would you recommend podiatry? Orthopedics was a bust, surprisingly. She had many issues just before and during her preteen growth spurt and we spent dozens of hours and several thousands of dollars at the children's hospital with no answers. (One side of her body was growing grossly faster than the other, and she was becoming deformed, yet no one in nearly a dozen specialties had a single answer. ) The other side finally and miraculously caught up a year and a half later. The worst thing that resulted from her skull and face sides growing at different times was that she needed and underwent a LaForte 1 Osteotomy, which was agonizing for both of us. That's difficult to see your child go through that. Oh goodness! I digress! Back to my question, is Charcot related to CMT and would you recommend that she see a podiatrist?

[@JAWSPODIATRY]

trisia44 so sorry to hear 😢 definitely should see a specialist. This is a different type of Charcot. This is Charcot neuroarthropathy. As always, thank you 🙏🦈👣

[@mildredwhite]

Thank you Dr Wagner for answering this. I wondered the same thing. And, Thank you for this question. I was diagnosed with CMT about 10 years ago. I had issues with walking and being clumsy my whole life. But never got an actual diagnosis until I had a seizure and had to see a neurologist. He ran tests and finally found the issue. My feet have extremely high arches, hammer toes, bunions, etc., and had to have a toe amputated. And a knee replaced. My hands are not as bad and are functional but weak. Some days are worse than others. But, tell your daughter to see a neurologist. Preferably one that specializes in muscular dystrophy. I hope this helps.

Pam Baars glad to hear! Just trying to educate the world. As always, a very genuine thank you. 🙏😁👣🦈

I was found to have Charcot Foot in my right foot...about a week after the amputation of my left foot. I thank you for what you're doing, for trying to educate all of us. I'm not in good shape, and my right foot is changing in new and grotesque ways, and I'm pretty much consigned to have it amputated. I'm broken in body, mind and spirit, and wish it weren't me. But it is.

This is me also and totally freaked out by all of it ie... amputation 4 years ago on right leg below the knee and have been in a rocker boot for the last 18 months . This guy just says it as it is and thank you so much for this information.

So true. But refer to John MacDougall, MD and the treatment of autoimmune disorders. Type1 diabetics have been much improved. Neal Barnard,MD also speaks to this. Happy Thanksgiving.

I’m confused. The patient knew that he had several broken bones in his foot and he walked on his foot for a couple of months?

Dr. Wagner great plain

I DO HAVE CHARCOAT FOOT IM DIABETIC FEMALE 53 YRS OLD

[@chastitysmith9036]

I have charcot in both feet. I'm not diabetic. They've both collapsed

[@Madmarco983]

Me too, what are your Dr’s saying is the cause? Neuropathy? Any other conditions you have? I have arthritis in both. Getting my right foot “rebuilt “ March 13? Jw what has caused this

[@deanarmour6642]

I had charcots in both feet, not fun, many problems
