Autonomic Neuropathy due to any cause can cause swelling of the feet and legs. This swelling is minimal in the morning and increases by evening, due to the dependent position of the legs. In neuropathy, the skin of the feet and legs usually become dry. Please apply a skin softner like Vaseline, on the plantar and dorsal surface of the feet and the legs, at-least twice a day. The best way to prevent edema formation is, in the morning, when the swelling is minimal, after applying Vaseline, wear properly fitting compression stockings from toes to the knees. Please wear it throughout the day, and remove it before going to sleep, when you can apply Vaseline once again. Please always use soft, pressure distributing insoled footwear. Materials like EVA, Poron, Silicon, Plastazote are good. Inserts of these materials can be places in the footwear. This will prevent callus formation and protect your feet from any injury.
