Shooting pain in foot
For the past 4 days, my father is getting a stabbing pain in his left foot from time to time. My father is a diabetic from the last 7 years and had a mild brain haemorrhage 3 years ago. Please tell me the cause of this pain and what steps should my father take.

Diabetic neuropathy can cause abnormal sensation in feet but stabbing pain is unlikely
You need to confirm that it is not some underlying foot infection which is common in diabetic patients. If there is any kind of swelling or redness you must consult a doctor physically. Else you can gor full online consultation.
