Hi,
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to inflammation or an infection. I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- a foot X ray study
- complete blood count- PCR and ESR for inflammation
- uric acid plasma levels for hyperuricemia
- fasting glucose for diabetes.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Iliri
