Is charcot foot considered to be a disability?
I HAVE charcot foot/arthropathy, and REFUSE to allow it to be a disability. I will always find a way to get things done, at work and at home. Also, if I tell the powers that be (the ones who decide if I would get money for a 'disability,') that i cannot walk, stand etc, that rules out walking for exercise as well as walking for fun. Nope. I won't allow it to be a disability, and I hope, if you are still able to get around, you won't either. If your bones are sticking through your skin, then maybe I could see it as a disability. Get custom shoes and orthotics. They accommodate a charcot foot so we can still walk and be productive.
