    Someone at some point should have told you this, but it rarely gets communicated until its too late. If you have peripheral neuropathy, even if you are not a diabetic, you should be doing nightly foot inspections with the aid of a mirror.

    It drops the likelihood of acquiring an amputation by around 70%. Pretty much all my patients who have had amputations acquired them because they didn’t know about a foot wound before it became infected and spread to the bone.

    Simply flashing your feet at a mirror kept propped next to a nightstand can significantly improve your overall health outcomes.
